The epic true story of an American hero who flew
during WWII, soon to be featured in the upcoming Steven
Spielberg and Tom Hanks TV Series, Masters of the
Air.
Beginning on August 17, 1942,
American heavy bomber crews of the Eighth Air Force took off
for combat in the hostile skies over occupied Europe. The
final price was staggering. 4,300 B-17s and B-24s failed to
return; nearly 21,000 men were taken prisoner or interned in
a neutral country, and a further 17,650 made the ultimate
sacrifice. Luck of the Draw is more
than a war story. It’s the incredible, inspiring story
of Frank Murphy, one of the few survivors from the 100th
Bombardment Group, who cheated death for months in a German
POW camp after being shot out of his B-17 Flying Fortress.
Now with a new foreword written by his
granddaughter Chloe Melas, of CNN, and daughter Elizabeth
Murphy.
