5.The FewThe Few
from Da Capo Press
Price: $6.99

Customer Review:
This outstanding narrative reads as more like a novel than a piece of researched non-fiction. I mean that as a complement as this is anything but a dry historical essay on the Battle of Britain. Although the story of the individual Americans is placed well into the wider context of the battle, some... more info

from Zenith Press
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
Although I am only halfway through this book I am really enjoying it. I deals with American P-47 fighter bombers in the European theater. I never realized before how much more dangerous air-to-ground combat is compared to air-to-air. Pretty exciting stuff and very well written. (P.S. I do not live... more info

from Back Bay Books
Price: $10.19

Customer Review:
This book is based as an (auto)biography of Ben Rich the boss of the legendary Lockheed "Skunkworks". It is a lot more than that however with an overview of secret 'black-ops' of the cold war period. The development of the U2 and SR-71 as well as an in depth introduction to the F117 Stealth fighter... more info

from Simon & Schuster
Price: $13.60

Customer Review:
As one who reads lots of books about WWII aviation, and B-17s, in particular, I was excited to see the cover of this book and to think that it would be a great oral history of the bomber boys. Well, yes and no. The book was very good about discussing the strategic air war in analytic terms - what... more info

from Back Bay Books
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
Can't criticize this book strongly enough. It's viciously anti-American and very often at odds with the facts. It tries to draw moral equivalency between the US and Imperial Japan despite the enormous and obvious differences between the two. For example, the book tris to equate the American fire... more info
