WSU art graduate Ross Greening painted and wrote a one-of-a-kind record of action in WWII. He piloted a B-25 in the Doolittle Raid, was shot down over Italy, escaped from a POW train, hid out in the mountains of northern Italy, and ended up in a German stalag. His remembrances, as well as his fine artwork illustrating the events of this era, make compelling reading.

An art graduate, Ross Greening served as a B-25 pilot in the Northwest at the outbreak of WWII.

Fifteen months later Greening's plane was shot down over Italy's erupting Mt. Vesuvius, and he became a prisoner of war.
