Synopsis

A Sky Ablaze. A Crew Bound by Brotherhood. A War That Would Change Their Lives Forever.

February 8, 1944. A sky filled with fire, steel, and relentless enemy fighters. In the cockpit of the B-17 Susan Ruth, Howard Snyder fights to keep his bomber in the air as flak and gunfire rip through the fuselage. His crew—ten young men, bound by duty and brotherhood—face a terrible truth: their plane is going down. But for Howard, the battle is far from over. Captured in Nazi-occupied Belgium, he is thrust into a deadly game of survival, hunted by the Gestapo, aided by the brave Belgian Resistance, and ultimately forced to make a choice—stay hidden or fight back.

This is not just another World War II story. Howard Snyder and the Legendary B-17 ‘Susan Ruth’ Crew takes you beyond the cockpit, beyond the battlefield, and into the hearts and minds of those who lived through the unthinkable. Through detailed research, survivor accounts, and a gripping narrative, Alexander Reich brings their heroic journey to life.
