The Girl and the Bombardier
- A True Story of Resistance and Rescue in Nazi-Occupied France
- Narrated by: Karen White
Susan Tate Ankeny is sorting through the belongings of her late father – a World War II bomber who rescued a burning B-17 in Nazi-occupied France in 1944 – when she found two boxes. On one side was her father’s Air Force uniform, and on the other was an unfinished memoir, a stack of envelopes, black-and-white photographs, mission reports, dog tags, and fake IDs that were he used when he escaped. Ankeny has spent more than a decade since that time tracking down letterwriters, their loved ones, and anyone who played a part in her father’s story, culminating in a trip to France, where she rediscovered his path with those who guided him more than 60 years ago.
A remarkable hero emerges – Godelieve Van Laere – as just a teenage girl as she saves fallen Lieutenant Dean Tate, risking his life and forging a friendship that will last for a world new century.
The result is a wonderful, multifaceted World War II story about the transformation of a small-town American boy into a bomber, the suspense and chaos of a war. aerial combat, and the horror of jumping out of a burning plane over enemy territory. It distinguished the action of a little-known French resistance network for Allied pilots known as the Shelburne. And it sheds light on the courage and wisdom of a young woman who risked her life to save others.
The author does a wonderful job of describing her father’s journey. If you love true WWII stories, this is for you.
