Publications Mentioning The Crash
'Ken's Men Against the Empire Volume I: The B-17 Era' is the illustrated history of the 43rd Bombardment Group during World War II. 'Ken's Men Against the Empire Volume I: The B-17 Era' tells an amazing and important story of the early air war in the Pacific, created from all available surviving unit records integrated with the stories, records and accounts of hundreds of veterans who served with the nascent unit. As Volume 4 of the Eagles over the Pacific book series, the story of the B-24 Era will continue in Volume II.
Just as the Liberator crash is the worst Australian aviation disaster, it was also the single-worst disaster to befall the 43rd Bombardment Group. Author Larry Hickey with Steve Birdsall, Madison D. Jonas, Edward M. Rogers and Osamu Tagaya, have re-written the events of the 'Pride of the Cornhuskers' crash which now feature across four pages of the book. The research about the Liberator crash was undertaken in consultation with the 2/33 Australian Infantry Battalion A.I.F. Association, and for that we are truly thankful. The research and time taken to write and produce this book is second-to-none and has corrected inaccuracies about the crash that are contained in other publications. Not only is this book a must for 43rd Bombardment Group enthusiasts, Pacific War enthusiasts or aircraft enthusiasts, it is a must for those interested in the history of the 2/33 Australian Infantry Battalion A.I.F.
