Pilots, gunners, navigators, a crew chief, a flight surgeon, and the sisters, wives, and widows who carried the other half of the story put it all into a book called Mississippians in the Mighty Eighth. Then the book went out of print, the chapter that published it dissolved, and the stories went quiet.


We're bringing them back. The book returns to print, and its stories return as a weekly podcast: seven seasons, twelve episodes a season, every one built from the words these men and women left behind. Each week you get one story, the lesson they paid dearly to learn, and the thread that runs from their world straight into yours.

Mississippians in the Mighty Eighth is the first project from Echoes of the Mighty Eighth. Written, published, and distributed by Plume & Parchment, the heritage imprint of The Curated Quill.
