Crosby's Curse is a work of narrative nonfiction set in the Southwest Pacific in WWII. They were young boys, flying untested B-24 Liberators into battle off dirt runways after a few short weeks of training against a tenacious enemy. Nothing in their training prepared them for what they would face in the skies over New Guinea.
The story celebrates the brave and selfless men of the 90th Bomb Group of the 5th Air Force, who flew into battle in the skies over the Southwest Pacific in the early darkest days of the war. And most especially to the men who flew and fought in one particular B-24 Liberator known as “Crosby’s Curse” or, as they sardonically renamed her, “Who Shives a Git.” These men flew for their country and for their namesake, Bing Crosby.
