About this listen
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
The epic true story of an American hero who flew during WWII
Beginning on August 17, 1942, American heavy bomber crews of the Eighth Air Force took off for combat in the hostile skies over occupied Europe. The final price was staggering. 4,300 B-17s and B-24s failed to return; nearly 28,000 men were taken prisoner or interned in a neutral country, and a further 26,000 made the ultimate sacrifice.
Luck of the Draw is more than a war story. It’s the incredible, inspiring story of Frank Murphy, one of the few survivors from the 100th Bombardment Group, who cheated death for months in a German POW camp after being shot out of his B-17 Flying Fortress.
Now with a new foreword written by his granddaughter Chloe Melas, of CNN, and daughter Elizabeth Murphy.

“In the pursuit of authenticity, of accurate history and undeniable courage, no words matter more than, ‘I was there'... Ponder this: how did those boys do such things?” Tom Hanks
