Some were captured and became prisoners of war. Some men evaded capture and were missing in action for months before making it back to England. Their individual stories and those of the courageous Belgian people who risked their lives to help them are all different and are all remarkable. \nThe story is informative\, insightful\, and captivating. Prior to the fateful event\, the book covers the crew’s training\, their journey to England\, what life was like on base as well as in London and the English countryside\, and the perils of flying combat missions over occupied Europe and Germany. \nTold through personal letters\, oral and written accounts\, declassified military documents\, and interviews – all from people who took part in the events that happened over 70 years ago (even the German Luftwaffe pilot who shot down the Susan Ruth) – the stories come alive. Adding to the feeling of “being there”\, are more than 200 time period photographs interspersed throughout the book. \nTo add background and context\, many historical facts and anecdotes about and surrounding World War II are entwined throughout the book so that the reader has a feel for and understanding of what was occurring on a broader scale. SHOT DOWN is an account about brave individuals\, featuring pilot Howard Snyder\, set within the compelling events of the greatest conflict in world history. \n\nAuthor\, Steve Snyder URL:https://www.evergreenmuseum.org/event/author-series-steve-snyder-author-of-shot-down/ LOCATION:Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum\, 500 NE Captain Michael King Smith Way\, McMinnville\, OR\, 97128\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.evergreenmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/ShotDown_cvr-683x1024-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230826T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230826T143000 DTSTAMP:20260408T030519 CREATED:20230802T013928Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230826T062331Z UID:20214-1693056600-1693060200@www.evergreenmuseum.org SUMMARY:de Havilland Venom Exhibit Reveal featuring the USAF Band Brass Quintet DESCRIPTION:Join Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum for a reveal of our newest exhibit\, the De Havilland DH112 Venom.
