Andy and Mandy Bear live in the woods with many friends. We will meet these friends, and the new friends Andy and Mandy will make while on their adventure. Andy and Mandy contrast each other. Andy is outgoing and carefree. Mandy is shy and reserved. When it comes to people, Andy and Mandy are unusual. Most bears are scared of people, but Andy and Mandy are more curious than scared. There is a house near the edge of their woods where a family of four live. Andy and Mandy spend a lot of time watching this family. Andy and Mandy had heard the family talking about taking a vacation for ten days, and that vacation was to start today. Our story begins as Andy and Mandy watch the family load up the car and leave on vacation. Andy persuades Mandy to adventure out of the woods and see if they can find a way inside this house. Will they find a way in, and if they do, what will they find inside? Let’s find out together!

This is a remarkable book. It is the real life story of a pilot of the famed 91st Bomb Group, the Memphis Belle Group, in World War II, and the missions flown in that Group by the author and his comrades. It follows him from the time his B-17 was shot down over the German-French border, he was rescued and hidden by villagers in the tiny village of Baslieuse, then escaped through a Europe occupied by Nazi forces desperate to escape pursuing Allied armies. The book chronicles, in fascinating detail, the life and training of those young men who made up the heroic 8th Air Force, and describes the affectionate relationship often maintained by their crews with that most famed heavy bomber of all time, the fabled B-17. It includes some of the most tragic stories as well as some of the wryest humor ever written about combat groups. A heavy bomb group consists of 36 heavy bombers. The 91st lost 207 planes during its WWII combat time—32 during the author''s flight tenure. Dr. Anderson uses the words of the extraordinary crews of those planes to describe the training they absorbed, the missions they flew, the results they achieved, the tragedy of watching their planes explode and their friends die, and the heroism that brought so many near fatally damaged planes home with their dead and wounded crews. This is also a story of growing up in pre-war America, and of the growth and development of that sturdy character which enabled these young men and their children and grandchildren to help create today''s world. God bless them, their achievements, and what their heroism made possible so that we could live in the world we do today.
