One Mission Man
After enlisting in the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1942 and training diligently for months as a bombardier, David Ririe spent only one day in combat. On his first and last mission, his plane is shot down. Crashing on a military reserve outside Rostock, Germany, he is immediately seized by German soldiers. For the next 13 months, Ririe struggles to survive Nazi brutality.
He speaks in an open and candid way about such poignant experiences as struggling to become a B-17 bombardier, nearly starving with 9,000 POWs and heart-rending disappointment after failing numerous escape attempts. The conclusions he draws illustrate the harrowing chaos that existed during the world’s most brutal war.
