Belgium ... February 8, 1944 ... Shot Down and AliveFor the first time, the full and complete story of the B17 Flying Fortress Susan Ruth is shared in unbelievable detail. Author Steve Snyders story of his father, Lieutenant Howard Snyder, and the Susan Ruth crew, provides indepth details about many aspects of World War II few understand or know about including the: separation for young families as men went off to war; training before heading to foreign soil; military combat operations; underground and resistance and what Lt. Snyder did when he joined it; German atrocities toward captured crew and civilians; behindthescenes stories of the Belgium civilians who risked all to save American flyers who were in the air one moment, spiraling down in flames the next; creation and dedication of the monument to the Susan Ruth and its crew located in Macquenoise, Belgium in 1989Shot Down was created from the vast number of letters and journals of Howard Snyder; diaries of men and women on the ground who rescued, sheltered and hid the crew; and interviews conducted by historians. Centered around the 306th Bomb Group in Thurleigh, England, it is informative, insightful and captivating.For most, 70 years is a long time ago. World War II fades in importance as each year goes by. Shot Down moves history out of the footnotes into reality, keeping the stories of real people alive as they experience being shot down. You are there, almost holding your breath as Lt. Snyder gets his crew out of his B17 when bailing out over Nazi occupied Europe.
