Summary of Harry H. Crosby's A Wing and a Prayer

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was flying on a practice mission at four in the morning. I was zipped in my flying coveralls, fleece-lined boots, and leather fleece-lined pants. I had my navigation kit, two bags, and five #10 grocery sacks.

#2 The crew of Blakely’s plane was getting ready. I was in charge of the lead crew, which meant I was in front. I was not a lead navigator. On all my missions so far, I had been comfortable in a Tail-End Charlie plane.

#3 When we were out of the takeoff pattern and climbing, I heard Doug and Blakely crawl to the nose compartment. I spread out my maps and equipment. I was so relieved that I took time to notice I had been sweating.

#4 On the first leg, I was able to see every railroad, river, and town. I was able to navigate thanks to Forky’s help, and I was able to check our magnetic compass heading and our indicated air speed to calculate what the wind was doing to us.
