Missing in action-eight men behind enemy lines...
After Pearl Harbor, W.T. Eaves swaps the West Texas oil fields for the skies, earning his silver wings as a bomber pilot in the Army Air Corps. While training in Galveston, the beautiful, dark-eyed Jean captures Eaves' heart and they marry-just months before he's sent to war.
Called to aerial combat in the Fifteenth Air Force, Eaves and his B-24 crew run the gauntlet of flak and battle the Luftwaffe to deliver their bombloads. Time and again they watch comrades fall from the skies.
But before completing their thirty missions, luck runs out. Flak destroys an engine and somewhere over Yugoslavia, enemy fighters swarm in for the kill.
Back in Texas, the devastating telegram arrives: Missing in Action. For Eaves and his young bride, grit, courage, and faith are their only lifeline-to impossible hope, and to each other.
Silver Wings Falling Down is a powerful tribute to love, loyalty, and the courage to persevere in the face of unthinkable hardship. Based on a true World War II story.
