OVER THE TARGET…

The movie camera in my hands was ready as we entered our run over the oil fields of Ploesti. Cracking towers, smokestacks, huge oil storage tanks and outbuildings almost scraped the Witch’s belly as we let go the incendiaries.

Through the camera’s lens I saw a B-24 fly into a barrage balloon cable. The plane spun, corkscrewed to the ground and exploded. Beyond, I saw another smash into a smokestack and instantly dissolve into a fireball.

The heat from the storage tank fires turned the Witch into an oven, searing my hair and eyebrows. I swung the camera to see planes crisscrossing, exploding in air, being swallowed up in the raging fires and curling black smoke.

Ahead, four hundred deadly German fighters hovered high overhead—waiting for revenge.…

This is the thrilling story of Sergeant Jerry Joswick, COMBAT CAMERAMAN

Dodging bullets and bombs, he “shot” his way through some of the most savage fighting in World War II, taking memorable pictures of the terrible face of war—

—in Africa, on a commando raid behind Rommel’s lines

—on the disastrous Ploesti air raid, which he was the only cameraman of sixteen to survive

—in the first wave of D-Day on Omaha Beach

—in the Battle of the Bulge, where he traded camera for rifle to stay alive

—parachuting into Germany with the Airborne

Thrills, action, the shock of battle—and the determinate to get the picture, no matter what the danger—make COMBAT CAMERAMAN one of the most thrilling books to come out of the Second World War.
