Hey everyone. I hope it’s OK to post this here. Myself and my friend Hal Bryan at EAA wrote a book about the veterans who have flown aboard the EAA B-17 “Aluminum Overcast”. It is an extremely emotional and important book which showcases why it is important to preserve these aircraft. We are running a special that offers free shipping. I just thought I’d share with you all here. Please know 100% of the proceeds go to keeping the B-17 the flying tribute that it is. I don’t do a lot of plugs but I felt if anyone would understand the project it would be you all here. Thanks for your time.

I just received a promotional email from EAA about it.

If you're on their email list, you'll likely receive it.

It's really a great book, Chris. You should be proud of the work you did on it. I read it twice after receiving my copy about a month ago.

Everyone else, do yourself a favor and pick it up. You won't regret it.

I bought a copy back in April, when it came out. Wonderful book. You did a great job with both the stories and the photographs. I highly recommend it.
