"This was one of the best true stories I have ever read. The title says it well. It IS an incredible true story of combat and chivalry in the war-torn skies of WWII. I highly recommend it. Not only is the story remarkable, but it is extremely well written. My husband, who has read most everything written on WWII, recommended I read it and I am glad he did."

    " I enjoyed the book, but not as much as I anticipated after reading the reviews. Still, I'm glad I read it. "

    " This book is well worth reading for the incredible story and the insight you gain into the German (not Nazi) side of the conflict. The research was extensive and interesting. The writing was mediocre and was best when it just didn't get in the way of the story. The beginning was disorienting and somewhat stilted, in part because of the prose and in part because of the way the author chose to jump forward and backward in time. Overall, though, the remarkable story carries the day and makes it worth reading. "

    " An Incredible True Story indeed! I'm so glad that someone was able to document this. It made me horrified at the terrors of war and humbled by the strength and nobility of those who were involved in it. "

    " I loved it! Not my normal genre, but I definitely want more. I will probably read one of the books about Hans Joachim Marseille next. "

    " An incredible true story of 2 pilots in WWII, one a farm boy from West Virginia, the other a boy from Bavaria both forced to go to war and have an unbelievable encounter in the air as enemies but a "higher call" prevailed and changed their lives forever. "

    " It was a good story overall. However, I think there was way too much back story going on. If I had to choose between this and Unbroken, I would choose Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand. Good story none the less. "

    " I just finished reading this book and can easily recommend it to anyone with an interest in mankind. A great story, written from two sides of a war, and about valour, courage, honor, and respect for the enemy among other things. Excellent. "

    " Loved this book! I finished it a few days ago and still find myself lost in the story line. I would like to know a little more of what happened in Charlie Brown's life (the American pilot) during his military service in WWII. But that didn't diminish the books impact. "
