Surviving a Shoot Down Over Japan

NonFiction

Field of Spears: the last mission of the Jordan Crew by Gregory Hadley. True story of a B-29 crew shot down over Japan on July 20, 1945. Written by an American now living in Japan and teaching at Niigata University.
This was donated by a guy who lives around the corner from me. He came in to donate the book and mentioned he was shot down and in the book. I asked, "Where were you shot down?" He replies, "Over Japan." I was surprised he was still alive.
