About this listen

Like many Americans, as soon as Vincent J. Riccio heard about the attack on Pearl Harbor, he wanted to enlist in the military. This memoir recounts his experiences in the United States Army Air Corps as an instrument technician, aviation cadet, and flight engineer in World War II. It describes his escapades during training and deployment, the missions flown over Germany, the fateful events that led to his captivity in Stalag Luft IV, and the long road home. It reflects his impressions of military service, the people he met, and the lessons he learned along the way.
