Critics Review
Praise for Colin Heaton“Readers with military background in general, and interest in and knowledge of the war in particular, will welcome and applaud this revealing history. Readers encountering information about the war for the first time may have their eyeballs pop out on springs….The text pulls you along like an action/adventure novel, owing to the vivid voices of these five men and the obstacles they had to overcome. At the same time, it feels like you’re sitting in the same room with them hearing the stories firsthand.”—New York Journal of Books“Colin Heaton has once again produced a series of first-person accounts from the men who made aviation history….An invaluable addition to military history.”—Adam Makos, New York Times bestselling author of A Higher Call and Spearhead“Among the top tier of World War II histories.”—Jay A. Stout, author of Hell’s Angels
