When the Lonesome Lady was shot down during a bombing run in the Inland Sea of Japan, Pilot T. C. Cartwright and his crew became POWs. The men were interned at Hiroshima, and while the author was sent to Tokyo for interrogation, his entire crew was killed by the U. S. atomic bomb.

This review is from: A Date With the Lonesome Lady: A Hiroshima Pow Returns (Paperback)

i don't really know how to explain the impression that this book had on me. i can't imagine the horror that his crew went through. in the book it mentions that a plaque honors the crew at the pow memorial at andersonville, ga but i had never heard of lt cartwright and his crew. i would hope that some one would give this man and his crew the recognition that they deserve as the us government prepares to have some more "friendly fire" incidents.
