Book Synopsis
A classic novel and a favorite of aviation enthusiasts for decades. Later adapted into an Academy Award-winning film and a popular television series during the 1960s.
But very few of those fans have ever read the original story-and because of that, they've missed the deeper truths, characters, and moments only found in the novel.
For example: In the movie, Lieutenant Jesse Bishop is killed when his bomber explodes on a mission. But in the novel, Bishop survives, only to be captured and sent to a German P.O.W. camp.
Another example: In the movie, Sergeant McIllhenny survives. But in the novel, McIllhenny makes the ultimate sacrifice, giving his life to protect General Savage and his crew from an attacking German fighter.
These are just two of the powerful differences between the versions-and there is much more to discover in the complete, uncut novel of Twelve O'Clock High.
If you've only seen the movie or the TV show, you don't know the full story. Now you can.
Read the book that shows the courage, leadership, and sacrifice behind the legend of the 918th Bomb Group.
You will never look at Twelve O'Clock High the same way again.
