I forgot that James Bradley was such a good writer. These first two chapters laid good groundwork into (1) showing why he feels telling this story is important and (2) giving the backstory on how Japan turned from a peaceful isolated nation into the force they became in WWII. I think I’m in for a good read here.

It’s sad to hear that Billy prophesied the important of an Air Force, yet never got to see the day where his prediction came true. Also a lot of backstory, not much movement learning about the Flyboys
