The final price was staggering. 4,300 B-17s and B-24s failed to return; nearly 21,000 men were taken prisoner or interned in a neutral country, and a further 17,650 made the ultimate sacrifice.\n\nLuck of the Draw is more than a war story. It’s the incredible, inspiring story of Frank Murphy, one of the few survivors from the 100th Bombardment Group, who cheated death for months in a German POW camp after being shot out of his B-17 Flying Fortress.\n\nNow with a new foreword written by his granddaughter Chloe Melas, of NBC, and daughter Elizabeth Murphy.\n\n“A gripping, inspirational account of incredible bravery, resilience, and sheer will to survive. A truly extraordinary story!” ―General David Petraeus, U.S. Army (Ret.)\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1250866898\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1250866898.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Murphy, Frank\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
