'Memories from the Out House Mouse – The Personal Diaries of
One B-17 Crew' gets new marketing
push
WEIMAR,
Calif., April 18, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In
the nonfiction book "Memories from the Out House Mouse - The
Personal Diaries of One B-17 Crew"
(published by Trafford Publishing in February of 2007), G.
Robert Harvey offers the combined
personal diaries of the last World War II combat flight crew of the
Boeing B-17-F Flying Fortress named "Out House Mouse." Each of
these diaries has been transcribed from the original or from a
first generation copy of the original provided by the crew member
or his immediate family.
Harvey's father was 1st Lt. E.J. ("Joe") Harvey, the pilot. It
was the transcription of his diary that began this project. The
lieutenant's notes were hand printed in block capital letters and
an effort has been made to retain that personality in this
transcription. For each combat mission, the lieutenant also
included carefully cut and folded newspaper accounts, which have
also been transcribed and where possible, the source newspaper
identified. An effort has been made to duplicate the newsprint
type, column size and position as much as possible to retain the
look of his original diary.
Six others provided Harvey with copies of their diaries, which
he included transcriptions of in this combined record. Because the
author's father provided an entry for every day, even when not
flying, and because his diary covers the longest period of time,
until the middle of June 1945, his
diary provides the date stamp and serves as the basis for all of
the other records. The "Out House Mouse" flew missions over
Berlin and Dresden, striking oil
facilities, marshalling yards, U-boat pens, airfields, rail centers
and bridges. The crew also evacuated freed allied prisoners of
war.
Photographs from these articles have been electronically scanned
and reproduced here.
"I extend a very sincere thank-you to all of these men and their
families who have freely shared this portion of their family's
history with me," Harvey says. "May the world never forget the
sacrifices of all the men these few pages represent."
