[Eric GREEN · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It gave a detailed description of what it was like to participate as an American fighter pilot in the later stages of the 2nd world war over Europe. From escorting daylight bombing raids on Germany to supporting the D-day invasion. I would recommend this to anyone who has an interest in the subject.
