Thank you Netgalley and Hachette for the gifted book I read along with the audio from the library.
WWII's Elite Airmen and the Epic Battle to Become the Masters of the Sky
by: John R Bruning
narrated by : Brian Troxell rating: really liked
This is the fascinating telling of the race to become the deadliest and therefore greatest American fighter pilot. It is also a story of how these men rallied buy in for the war back home and turned the tide for the War in the Pacific. Written following several key players in the ace race in their journey into and through combat, this tale could have been told in a very dry and boring way, but the narrative structure really brought the facts to life. At certain points I could feel myself in those fighter planes soaring over the jungles of the Pacific with my heart beating in my ears. I became very invested in these men and their lives and definitely did some internet research after reading to see their photos and read more about their lives.
