Steele, 2020 A must read story for anyone who wants to better understand the inconceivable experiences of those who served with the "Mighty Eighth" Air Force in Europe during World War II, and the families they left behind. There can be no better way to honor their sacrifices than to discuss the well-researched accounts in this book with the descendants of these incredible heroes. - Robert J Elder, Lieutenant General, USAF (Retired), former Eighth Air Force Commander Sgt Dewey Dey Steele was one of ten crewmembers aboard a B-24 nicknamed “El Flako.” He and his entire crew perished on their first and only mission on November 2, 1944.
