Bombs Away
de Steinbeck, John
A magnificent volume of short novels and an essential World War II report from one of America?s great twentieth-century writersOn the heels of the enormous success of his masterwork The Grapes of Wrath?and at the height of the American war effort?John Steinbeck, one of the most prolific and influential literary figures of his generation, wrote Bombs Away, a nonfiction account of his experiences with U.S. Army Air Force bomber crews during World War II. Now, for the first time since its original publication in 1942, Penguin Classics presents this exclusive edition of Steinbeck?s introduction to the then-nascent U.S. Army Air Force and its bomber crew?the essential core unit behind American air power that Steinbeck described as ?the greatest team in the world.?

Although Steinbeck was disappointed at being denied a military commission due to the FBI's perception of his "left wing politics", he was eager to accompany Douglas Fairbanks Jr.'s bombing team on raids on islands in the Mediterranean during World War II. His enthusiastic descriptions, coupled with the photographs of Swope, give a unique and historic view of the fledgling US Air Force bombing team.
