Only By the Grace of God: Surviving WWII

by Walter V. "Bud" Lawrence, Constance R. Cherba (Editor)

Only By the Grace of God is the story of Walter V. "Bud" Lawrence's experiences as a WWII waist gunner on My Everlovin' Gal, a B-24 Liberator which flew out of England. On 29 June 1944, both the Gal and the B-24 Cape Cod Special were hit by flak over Magdeburg, Germany. They collided, and exploded. Many from both crews died, but Bud and others survived only to endure injuries, the hardships of German POW camps, and the long, Black March before being liberated at the end of the war.
