author
C.
Christian
Chandler,
an
engineering
design
tech,
musician,
and
gardener
extraordinaire
who
lives
on
the
idyllic
Eastern
Shore
of
Virginia
with
his
wife,
Rita,
has
completed
his
most
recent
book,
“Doc’s
Hound:
A
Saga
of
a
B-17
Crew”:
a
gripping
drama
that
follows
the
lives
of
a
B-17
bomber’s
ten-man
crew
and
the
bonds
they
forge
both
on
and
off
the
battlefield.

“The
young
crew
of
an
American
bomber,
ably
led
by
their
competent
young
captain,
struggle
to
maintain
their
group
integrity
while
battling
inner
fears,
personal
turmoil,
time,
and
inclement
weather
all
the
while
facing
their
most
arduous
mission
to
date,”
writes
Chandler.

“Ten
men,
thrown
together
by
fate
and
circumstances
beyond
their
control,
must
learn
to
work
together
to
ensure
their
very
survival.
Four
officers,
five
flight
soldiers,
and
one
career
noncommissioned
officer
must
not
only
learn
to
live
and
work
together
but
breach
the
gulf
between
them,
culturally,
intellectually,
and
in
temperament.
The
plane’s
crew,
most
having
flown
fourteen
missions,
must
face
their
greatest
fears,
all
while
living
together
as
very
separate
and
unique
individuals.

“Bookended
by
two
fateful
but
actual
missions
flown
by
the
Mighty
Eight
during
the
early
days
of
World
War
II,
these
men
must
come
to
a
reckoning
of
their
imperiled
lives.
Having
lost
their
first
crew
member,
they
now
come
face
to
face
with
the
realities
firsthand
of
their
volunteer
status
and
their
chances
of
surviving
the
war.
Encapsulated
within
a
three-day
period
of
English
autumn
weather,
the
crew
endures
three
rainy
days
of
sheer
boredom,
unease,
and
a
penchant
for
mischief.

“Fly
with
the
crew
of
‘DOC’s
Hound’
as
they
live
out
the
hours
of
three
days
of
stand-down,
locked
within
the
confines
of
RAF
Bassingbourn.
See
how
they
learn
life
lessons
through
one
another
while
on
that
fateful
horizon,
their
most
arduous
mission
to
date
awaits.”
