Imagine traveling thousands of miles from home, getting shot down in a plane and surviving a four-mile fall without a parachute… only to be captured by Nazis.
That’s Gene Moran’s story, a farm kid from Soldiers Grove who served as a tail gunner in World War II. Author John Armbruster captured this remarkable story in his new book, “Tailspin.”
