Customer Review:

I grew up with this book in the house. I purchased this copy for my Father to replace the old copy he had, as it was literally falling apart. This book is so much fun.

The 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

Hell Hawks!: The Untold Story of the American Fliers Who Savaged Hitler's Wehrmacht
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

Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years of Lockheed
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

Masters of the Air: America's Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany
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

Flyboys: A True Story of Courage
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

Soviet MiG-15 Aces of the Korean War (Aircraft of the Aces)
from Osprey Publishing
Price: $15.61

Customer Review:

Although a wide literature can be found about the USAF heroes in the Korean War, the Soviet paper was secret till recent years, but it included several pilots with over 20kills in that war.
This book offers an exhaustive view of the "Honchos" in that war, written unit by unit, day by day. more info

USN Carriers vs IJN Carriers: The Pacific, 1942 (Duel)
from Osprey Publishing
Price: $12.21

Customer Review:

Thus far my exposure to Osprey 'Duel' titles has been minimal; two titles. I rate my experience as one miss (P-51 vs. FW 190) and one hit (Firefly vs. Tiger). Mark Stille's volume on U. S. and Japanese carriers however is definitely another hit and stands as an example of what the series can/should... more info
