In the last months of World War II, hastily trained bomber crews -- young men in many cases barely out of high school -- flew mission after mission out of English airfields against the most vital and heavily fortified industrial sites in Germany. A Real Good War, Sam Halpert's long-delayed fictional debut at age seventy-seven, renders that experience in muscular, controlled prose that enables the reader to taste the terror of flying these missions through heavy barrages of flak, through impenetrable fog, often in crippled aircraft bearing wounded or dead bodies.
