Book: SHOT DOWN - The true story of pilot Howard Snyder and the crew of the B-17 Susan Ruth by Steve Snyder
categories: Book, World War II, Military, B-17, Aviation, History, Flying Fortress, Eighth Air Force, Non-Fiction, WWIISteve Snyder

I read many books about the air war in Europe, spent untold hours doing research on the internet, and started attending reunions of various WW II organizations. I am now president of the 306th Bomb Group Historical Association.
Initially I had no intention of writing a book, and it wasn't until December, 2012 that I actually decided to do so. Based on that all I had learned over the previous three years, I felt that the story of the my father and his crew was so unique and so compelling that it just had to be told and people needed to read about it.
Since being released in August 2014, SHOT DOWN has won 15 national book awards and has a 4.9 Amazon reader review rating with 92% being 5 stars.
