Book excerpt: Growing up in the concrete jungle of the Bronx, New York, Herb Pearlman dreamt of flying a plane, but never imagined he'd end up as a B-17 pilot in World War II. But on his 26th mission over Germany, he was shot down and became a prisoner of war in a German prison camp. Released at the end of the war, Pearlman never talked about his experiences until some 50 years later when he finally wrote his memories of training, flying and imprisonment.
