Bombs Away (1st Edition)

On the heels of the enormous success of his masterwork The Grapes of Wrath and at the height of the American war effort,John Steinbeck, one of the most prolific and influential literary figures of his generation, wrote Bombs Away, a nonfiction account of his experiences with U.S. Army Air Force bomber crews during World War II. This first edition, printed during the war, is Steinbeck's introduction to the then-nascent U.S. Army Air Force and its bomber crew, the essential core unit behind American air power that Steinbeck described as the greatest team in the world.
