In this episode I spoke with Steve Snyder regarding his book "Shot Down: The true story of pilot Howard Snyder and the crew of the B-17 Susan Ruth". SHOT DOWN is set within the framework of World War II in Europe and recounts the dramatic experiences of each member of a ten man B-17 bomber crew after their plane, piloted by the author's father, was knocked out of the sky by German fighters over the French/Belgian border on February 8,1944. Ernie Pyle Museum is in Dana, IN!
