    I don't see why not - it's relevant and you even asked politely if you might. :D

    OK, now you've piqued my curiosity. How about title and where we can get it. Sounds like an interesting read.

    Yes, please do. If for no other reason than you asked first.

    Welcome to the forum and tell us more about you and your book.

    It's nice to have someone who asks , so many do'nt bother and post spammings that have nothing to do with WWII , so the story of a B-17 crew is more than welcome .

    Thanks everyopne. here goes.
    My book is titled, The Meltin' Pot From Wreck to Rescue and Recovery.
    In 2001 the Inishowen Sub-Aqua Club found a B17 plane in twenty metres off Greencastle County Donegal (Lough Foyle). I found out that the name of the plane was The Meltin' Pot and Captain Curtis Melton and his crew were forced to crash land in 1942 after losing three of their engines on the way over the Atlantic. All the crew were saved.
    A teenager, Elisabeth Benson and her sick mother sailed out in their flimsy craft into dangerous waters and rescued the captain and some of his men.
    I was able through Gunner Leland Kessler to get in touch with Curt Melton.
    I also was able to put Curt in touch with th
    The Sub-aqua Club and the Greencastle Museum are having a book launch for me on March 7th at the Greencastle Museum.
    Thank you all for your interest.
    The book is published by The History Press and is for sale at all good bookshops.

    Have you got a link for buying it via the web?

    Also consider posting about this at the other place.
