About the When Heroes Flew series

The WHEN HEROES FLEW series is set against some of the most legendary aerial exploits of WWII.  Told from the viewpoints of young men whose bravery may never be equalled, the stunning dramas span the battle-scarred globe. You ride with aircraft crews from the Libyan desert to the plains of Romania, from the vast Pacific Ocean to war-torn China, and from the snaggletoothed Himalayas to the rainforests of Burma. In yet another adventure, you slog across the bloody battlefields of Europe with a freshly-minted army lieutenant and stumble into an unimaginable horror.

Praise for H.W. “Buzz” Bernard

"Bernard's Down A Dark Road is a gut punch of a novel. A tale of war's end, when the bill comes due in blood, and what honorable people are willing to do to right unspeakable sins."
Reed Farrel Coleman, NYT  bestselling author of SLEEPLESS CITY

 

"Buzz Bernard's gripping novel brings to light with stark detail and white-knuckle authenticity the WWII story of the American aviators who flew over the Himalayas."
TOM YOUNG, author of SILVER WINGS, IRON CROSS and RED BURNING SKY

 

"The [WWII] Ploesti raid . . . demonstrated the supreme heroism of the pilots and crews who made the raid, and this book vividly and unforgettably shows you why. Highly recommended.”
P.T. DEUTERMANN, author of PACIFIC GLORY, winner of the annual W.Y. Boyd award for best military fiction

 

"Expertly interweaving the boredom, horror, humor, injustice, and irony of war, H. W. "Buzz" Bernard has delivered a bravura performance to the canon of World War II literature. Well done!”
DWIGHT JON ZIMMERMAN,New York Times bestselling author

 

"You don’t need to be an aviation buff or a military historian to get swept up into Bernard’s skillful vision that causes you to chuckle and weep in tandem while forgetting everything around you but the story itself."
KATHLEEN M. RODGERS, 2019 MWSA Writer of the Year Finalist and author of THE FLYING CUTTERBUCKS
