On November 29, 1943, a nineteen-year-old tail gunner named Eugene
Moran boarded a B-17 Flying Fortress called "Rikki Tikki Tavi" for
his fifth bombing mission over Bremen, Germany. He would never fly
again — but he would survive something that almost no man in the
history of aerial warfare ever has. After German fighters tore the
aircraft apart over occupied territory, eight of his crewmates were
killed, his parachute was shredded by enemy fire, and the tail section
of the bomber broke away from the fuselage at twenty-four thousand feet.
With both arms wounded, no parachute, and four miles of cold German sky
beneath him, Moran did the only thing he knew how to do — he kept
firing. This is the true, historically documented story of Staff
Sergeant Eugene Moran, one of fewer than three men in World War II
history to survive a fall of this magnitude without a parachute, and
the last gunner still fighting when everything else had already fallen.
