Harry H. Crosby

I just completed reading Harrys book A wing and a prayer. It is a magnificent read on the life of a eighth air force airman in WWII. Harry would agree that war is to be avoided at all costs but thank God for people like him who answer their countrys call when no other choices are left. I live near his farm in Western Maine. Which I could have shook his hand and thanked him for his service and his remarkable book.

My father-In-Law Harry Crosby was a multi-talented individual, a skilled wrriter, a 32 mission air navigator, father and a whiz at Croquet.

I'm learning more about the Second World Air War and the interesting politics of the US, Britain, France and the Soviet Union. I wish I could ask him questions and just talking to him again would be great.

God Speed Colonel Crosby. Hope time has provided comfort to your loved ones. Knew Colonel Klinakowski, another 100th lead navigator -and through him heard about Colonel Crosby. Great men who were there when we needed them.

In 1993 my daughter, Jana, was at the library in Dayton,OH,when Harry was signing his book,"A Wing and A Prayer". She bought one, and he signed it with note Navigator to Radio. I was in the 390th with 35 missions. I'm reading it the second time. My condolences to his family.

I am a 62-year-old female who just finished reading "A Wing and a Prayer." I enjoyed it as much as any male reader might because it is so well written. I was riveted by the action and the accomplishments of this brilliant hero and those he served with. The world would be a different place if we had not had such men. Thank you, Mr. Crosby, for your service and your book.

My father Harold L Heyneman flew in the 100th 349th. Mr Crosby sign my copy for my dad at one of the reunions. Great book sir !!

I have just finished reading Harry's great book "A Wing and a Prayer". I wish I could have met him, he was one of a great generation who exemplified what is best in the Human Race.

I find myself here after reading A Wing and a Prayer. I am sorry to see Mr. Crosby has passed on. He certainly accomplished a lot in his life as did others of his generation. The United States was lucky to have people like this who answered the call during a difficult time.

My dad was in the 100th bomb group, he died in 2009, his best friend died today, Ralph Bates, also in the 100th bomb group. I want to get Harry's books, to add to my collection, I did not know until today that Harry had passed away, he was a wonderful man, did so much with his life. Please let me know how I can order his books, so my grandchildren will always know about these incredible men of the 100th Bomb group. I want every one of them!
