About the Book
Straight and Level is a personal account of a North Dakotan who went directly from high school in 1942 to Army Air Forces training and a B17 bomber crew in Europe during World War II. From old diaries, letters, records and memory, the author recreates both the rigors of training and the panic and frenzy of combat missions.
