520 0 _a"On Wings of The Wind relates air combat from the rear view of the low-ranker in the 'suicide seat' at the tail end of the plane. The 18-year-old tail-gunner named Ray Shepherd was the first GI a German fighter pilot had to kill before the German could destroy Ray's B-24. Still shy and soft-spoken at 80+, Ray shows that 'The Greatest Generation' indeed was" Ly. Colonel William L. Smith, Massachusetts, MEd US Army (Retired).
