Summary of Lee Trimble & Jeremy Dronfield's Beyond The Call

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The 493rd Bomb Group, along with the other groups in its division, had been to bomb the marshaling yards at Kassel, Germany, and they hadn’t been welcome. Landing lights glittering on their wings, the heavy bombers touched concrete with a rubbery squawk and rolled on down the runway. #2 The Trimble crew was not the only one who had completed their tour of duty. Their squadron-mates under Lieutenant Jean Lobb had also completed their mission. As wingman to the group leader, Lobb had been on Trimble’s starboard nose all the way to Germany, but had to drop out of formation with supercharger failure before reaching the target. #3 The brass wanted Robert to go to Russia. He would be sent to the Eastern Command base at Poltava in the Ukraine, and his job would be to collect salvaged bombers and fly them out. #4 Robert was offered a chance to fly back to the United States and pick up more damaged bombers and fly them out. He could tell the Americans he was going home, and then the war would be over after his twenty-one days were up.
