This 8 hour collection on 8 CDs contains four riveting interviews by oral historian Aaron Elson. Arnold Brown, a recruit with only an eighth-grade education from rural Kentucky, went on to become a company commander in the 90th Infantry Division. Robert Hamant was a Marine Pfc. on the island of Tinian, and the island from which the Enola Gay took off on its mission to drop the atom bomb. Sam Mastrogiacomo was a tail gunner in a B-24 on the Gotha Mission in February of 1944, which resulted in the longest running air battle between American bombers and German fighter planes: 2 hours and 10 minutes of constant contact. Sam's plane survived that mission, but was crippled on a later mission and crash-landed in Sweden, where he was interned for several months. Vern Schmidt was an 18-year-old replacement in a rifle company of the 90th Infantry Division.
