Rudy DePaola brings us to the fore of the South Pacific Theatre of WWII in the engaging story "The Wings of the Bullet – A Story of Young Americans at War". Largely based on the authors own experiences in the Second World War, this book follows the story of Ralph, a teenager who enlists in the Army Air Corps along with other eager teens. Vividly portrayed are the challenges of military training and the foray into actual combat. Trained in aerial gunnery, Ralph found his niche within the B-24 Liberator bomber.

Take to the skies in this gritty story from the true-to-life story from author and War Veteran Rudy DePaola.
