Hi Nancy ... I thought I'd better post an answer to your inquiry, even though we've spoken by phone today regarding the book "Black Puff Polly." Your concern was the availability of the book on the open market; and naturally the book is out of publication. But, I'd like to suggest an alternative publication that's available ... "Fait Accompli" a three volumn set, specifically on the 457th Bomb Group, written by James Bass, the current 457th BG Association President. You won't regret it. And there are full accounts of ALL of the combat missions the 457th BG flew in England. His email is: bassandbass@bellsouth.net Secondly, since you people live in the State of Florida ... you might be interested in visiting Pensacola Beach, Florida this November 1-4, 2007. It's the 19th Stateside Reunion of the 457th Bomb Group. We'll be staying at The Hilton Garden Inn hotel and touring the National Museum of Naval Aviation, Pensacola, plus other historical area sites.
