After being shot down he was at Stalag Luft I After the war he worked as a TV show writer in Hollywood. I did not read this so I do not know if he mentions Jimmy Stewart who was also in this squadron. From a Book Review: Fantastic book! My father also flew in the same squadron as Ray Parker, 703rd Bomb Squadron, 445th Bomb Group, based at Tibenham, England. They flew many of the same missions together. My father also flew with their squadron commander, Major Jimmy Stewart. This book was a well-written narrative of Ray's training, combat, and POW experiences. It was so easy to read and very engaging. A real tribute to his and my father's generation - The Greatest Generation! I also used it as a reference for my first book, Nine Yanks and a Jerk, and my forthcoming books, Daylight Raiders and Son of a Gunner. See my website: www.sonofagunnerb24.com for more details. From a Book Review Sixteen million Americans served in World War II . . . This is one man's incredible story. "War and captivity -- life and death -- fear and bravery. A remarkable true story of World War II that takes us along through the hell of aerial combat against high odds, and the harsh life of survivors in Nazi prison camps. A tale well told, it gives us insight into the courage and character of our gallant young airmen who paved the way for the invasion of Fortress Europe and our ultimate victory over Hitler's Germany." -Major General Donald Ross, USAF (ret.) "Once I started reading 'Down in Flames, ' I couldn't put it down. It's well written and kept me turning the pages. Ray Parker was head writer on my daily CBS-TV show, 'House Party, ' but he never talked about bombing missions over Germany during World War II and surviving a Nazi prison camp. What a surprise! I can certainly recommend this book." -Art Linkletter
