The Wild Blue: The Men and Boys Who Flew the B-24s Over Germany 1944-45 Audiobook

" Great account of what it was like to be on a bomber crew in WWII. "

" This is a great book about the boys who flew the B24 Liberators during WWII. Gives a very intimate look into the lives of a few as well as what the men had to go through to become a pilot and the what they went through on the actual missions they flew. "

" It's a good book, giving an idea of what it was like to fly daylight bombing missions in WW2. I learned that although we usually think B-17 in this context, the B-24 was actually more prolific, newer and could carry a bigger bomb load; never knew that. "

" Not the best Ambrose book I ever read, but it is an interesting book. This is the story of (mainly) B-24 crews flying out of Italy during WW2. Light and easy read if you're a history buff. "

" If I could live during any other time period period, maybe I'd want to be pilot a B-24 Liberator in WWII. "

" It felt like this one was written in a hurry. Still a good book. "

" Interesting subject matter. Poor writing. Not enough detail. "

" A quick brief acount based on interviews with people who were there and did fly the bombers. A good acount, well written but perhaps not quite what I was after in length and over all detail. "

" Great story of what it was like flying over Germany in WWII "

" Enjoyed this history of B-24s and George McGovern very much--I like him much more as a bomber pilot. Reminded me of my days commanding crews in the KC-135A/Q aircraft around the world--crew dogs experience something no one else ever will . . . "

" A bit difficult to follow, but overall a great book. "

" I think I am turning into a boy--all I've been reading lately is war books. This one helped to understand the "real stuff" behind the satire in Catch-22, even had a cameo of Joseph Heller. These WWII books really help me to understand the world I was born into and the lives of my parents. "

" good -- enjoyed a couple of his other books better. This one is mostly about George McGovern "

" it was okay for being a historical fiction. in my opinion it was really boring but not so bad that i couldn't finish it "

" Not quite done yet, good stuff! Mac & Karl's fault, all the WWII stuff they've exposed me to, lol, can believe the truth behind the history. "

" A superb tale of the B24 air crews and their mission in 1944-45 "

" I enjoyed this. It's a very good book - I'm just not all that interested in some of the technical aspects. "

" I really enjoyed the beginning of this book, but near the end I felt it became less about America and more an autobiography. It was required reading for school so I had to finish it, but I was definitely dragging through "

" Ambrose is so far my favorite modern historian (Mormon is my favorite ancient one) "

" Probably the best history book I have read. Profound insights from a man who spent his life studying and writing about history. You have to read his spot on assessment of our founding fathers. GREAT book. "

" I love this book... I used parts of it to teach a comparative history course. Amrose is at his best... chewing on issues that produce great discussions about what makes America what it is. "

" This is the last book written by this author, before he died. He went over subjects ( history)that he had written in previous books.He wrote a lot about the Wars and the past presidents. "
