"An excellent read about an incredible individual and his experiences before during and after the war. An interesting extension to the story as war memoirs often end with or shortly after the war and also interesting to learn the true story of the Memphis Belle having watched the film about her."
— James (4 out of 5 stars)

" The author is cocky. But I guess if I had flown 25 dangerous missions in a B-17 during World War II, I would be cocky too. "
— Jana, 5/2/2013 -
" Nice personal insight into the generation of WWII and this man specifically. Since I am a history buff and am amazed at what that generation did, I enjoyed the between the lines implications and lessons. "

" Good book if you are interested in a very narrow, but fascinating aspect of WWII. Quite a bit different from the move, "Memphis Belle".... <br/>I didn't realize there was a documentary made during the Belle's service. Apparently is is great. I need to find it.... "
