Untold Valor: Forgotten Stories of American Bomber Crews over Europe in World War II
Based on hundreds of interviews with American veterans and their families, Untold Valor illuminates the courage of airmen whose exploits have until now remained untold. Read about Jewish aviators' experiences as POWs in German camps. Learn about American airmen who were imprisoned, even killed, by the neutral Swiss and about two Air Corps enlisted men who changed U.S. policy toward liberated concentration camp survivors. Also discover the unusual story of Luftwaffe commander Herman Goering's nephew, who flew B-17 missions against Germany. While some of the stories cover major events, most are about incidents and individuals misrepresented or overlooked by history books. Yet their efforts were vital, their lives forever changed.
Detailed and moving, Untold Valor is certain to interest the serious air historian and the casual reader alike. With a foreword by the editor of B-17s Over Berlin.

Valor Untold No Longer.
History can be found both in volumes upon shelves and in the hearts of those who witnessed it. Rob Morris has managed to organize a meeting between the two through his tremendous book, "Untold Valor".

Untold Valor review
A reasonable book with some good focus on crew aspects not normally dealt with, an example is the chapter on ball turret gunners. Much of the other subject matter has been discussed in other books though.
