I am not a fan of military aviation. However, I appreciate that despite the length, the book was still nice and not packed with errors. Nice review.

I love the idea of incorporating photos in this. Although I don't read history books (I'm not a fan because of the emotional aspect of it being real), this one sounds like the author put a lot of dedication, time and heart into this novel.

It is a testimony of history that serves to preserve it and transmit it from one generation to another. It looks ideal for World War II aviation history enthusiasts.

I like reading about WWII because it was a period that brought out the best and the worst of humanity in a mind-blowing melee. I rarely focus on military strategy, but we need to dissect every aspect of this period to stop it from happening again. Thank you for your review.
