[John · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book is the personal story of Jim Curran, a P-47 "Thunderbird" pilot with the 5th Air Far East Force in World War II, 1943 thru 1945. Literature it is not, but it tells the basic facts of 221 combat missions. Short episodes (almost diary entries) are interspersed with selections from the Fighter Group history. Often the historical entries and better written and more interesting than Curran's writing.

This book provides a very good description of life/operations on an aircraft carrier. The plot and the characters are a little hackneyed, but the author being an ex-naval pilot is able to do a decent job on the setting. Not a bad vacation read.

I still enjoy a good military drama
