Ploesti . . .
Continued from Page I
despite warnings that half might
not return. Flying lower than
the refineries’ smokestacks, they
attacked through flames and ex
plosions which often engulfed the
60,000-pound bombers, for Ploesti
possessed the heaviest anti-air
craft concentration in Europe
p)os scores of frontline Axis
fighters.
The big bombers which came
through were blackened by oil
smoke. Crippled ships were en
gaged in three major aid battles
trying to fight their way home to
desert bases in Libya.
The book is based on hundreds
of interviews with U. S. and Axis
survivors. The autnors consulted
unpublished diaries and exhaused
official reference sources in
Washington, London and Bonn.
Secrets of the German defenses
and events hitherto unknown are
revealed by Dugan and Stewart,
who tracked down survivors on
both sides of the Atlantic. The
Random House offering benefits

participant testimony to date in

PLOESTI is a full detail story
of what combatants went through
in the contagion of heroism that
was Ploesti, told in terms of the
people involved. The authors de
scribe unparalleled acts of hero
ism, from the story of 10 “com
bat virgins’’ who flew five miles
enveloped in flame to crash
their target, the Romanian prin
cess who saved a downed air
crew, and a queen who protected
a fallen Texan, to the German
arnameot specialists wtai went in
to the danger-fraught target ar
ea to disarm scores of urn xplod
ed delayed-action bombs.
