I would definitely recommend Shot Down to others. It's very inspiring. I love the courage and stamina that these men show. The pain and anguish they suffer is quite hard to read about, though, but in the end, it's worth it.Scott wrote:I'm excited to kick off our discussion of the April 2016 Book of the Month, Shot Down by Steve Snyder.

Amazingly, what stood out most for me, were my father's description of how several of the German prisoners, were actually American citizens that had returned to the fatherland.
I myself am a Navy veteran and spent a large portion of my career working around four-engine P3 aircraft. Though not aircrew myself, I am familiar with the stress and working conditions of long patrols. I remember standing at the end of the tarmac, on days when aircraft would be launching, and watching them "yaw" as the four-engine monsters struggled to lift into the air.
I will definitely be reading more of this book.

I highly recommend the book to others. It's interesting to read a true story instead of fiction, because it is something that actually happened in real life. It is historical fact that can educate those who are unaware of all that happened in WWII and didn't live through it. I especially liked all of the photographs and excerpts from actual letters that were written during the war. I rated it 4 out of 4 stars!
