Review of B-17s Over Berlin: Personal Stories of Courage, Honor, Victory

[Shirley Ann Riddern Labzentis]

Great review! It was very detailed and thorough. My father fought in that war, but never talked about it much. When I was a child, I use to like to remove the schrapnel that came out of his shoulder. Interesting book for war enthusiasts!

Not a fan of history when it comes to reading. Just by sampling, I realized there were numerous events that happened in an year which took me back to childhood memories of remembering the historical events & dates for examinations. The decision to have pictures of few incidents and battle field in the book shows author's dedication and sincerity in bringing the insider information about the war to the world.

It looks like the book showcases several courageous and personal stories of the 95th bombardment group and the war they had to endure. However I think I will skip the book for now. Thank you for your review!

This book sounds like an incredible collection of brave and moving stories from WWII veterans. I'm fascinated by the personal accounts of the 95th Bomb Group airmen and their heroic experiences. Definitely a must-read for history buffs and anyone interested in the human side of war. Thank you for sharing this remarkable book!

It is difficult to discuss wartime experiences.  The veterans who shared their personal war experiences in this collection of stories deserve admiration for once again demonstrating courage. This time, it is not on the battlefield but on dealing with the emotions that come with remembering and writing about war memories.

[Annabell Samuel]

A collection of veteran stories told by veterans? That sounds like something I would like to read. It appeals to my fascination with veterans.

[Alida Spies]

It is great that the personal experiences of soldiers during World War II are documented and preserved for future generations. People must not forget how devastating war is and what a high price we pay for years after it has ended. The bombers played a crucial role during the war, although the fighter planes are usually featured in novels and accounts of WWII. I'm sure the squad members appreciate this tribute to their courage, sacrifice and honor. Thank you for your insightful review.
