Lieutenant Colonel Frank William Bauers,
Jr., USAF (ret.) is the author of Memoirs of a Marauder Pilot. According to the
book description, “This is the unique and personal history of a B-26 Marauder pilot who flew 68 missions with the Ninth
Air Force in WWII and then participated in planning combat operations for the 9th Bombardment Division through the end of
the war. The book also relates the history of the Marauder, a plane which received little publicity although it played a major
role in the invasion of Europe and the defeat of the Axis powers. The story is told against a background of our country's
preparation for war, through glimpses of pilot training, shared combat experiences, and exposure to wartime conditions in
Britain and on the continent.”
