Reviews

[Daniel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Written during WWIi, it does use racial terms for the Japanese that were common during the war. In addition, the use of fictional aircraft makes a lot of sense considering it was written and published during the war. Overall, it was well written and enjoyable.
