nainikagupta's review against another edition
4.0
The only reason this book made it 4/5 stars is because it dealt with a topic rarely seen in memoirs about WWII - or at least, that I have seen. It was written by a white male in the 40's, but other than the occasional sexist remark, or the occasional implicit bias written into the story line, it did an amazing job of giving me a glimpse of what it was like to be in the air during the War.
