By The Numbers . . .

About the Book

Jim Cullen was one of thousands of "kids" who fought the air war over Europe during World War II. Those youngsters either grew up or blew up in combat. Cullen did both when his plane was shot down over Germany. He spent the next twenty-one months as a prisoner of war.

Now, over fifty-five years later, he has artfully blended fact, fiction and photographs into a most fascinating and memorable account of those heroic times.

A must read.
