Description:This story of the perilous mission to destroy Hitler's oil refineries in Romania was hailed by The New Yorker as "the very model of a war book."

Their target: “the taproot of German might,” Hitler’s giant oil refineries at Ploesti. Hundreds of U.S. airmen volunteered for the mission despite warnings that half might not return.
