The Wild Blue: The Men and Boys Who Flew the B-24s Over Germany by Stephen E. Ambrose

2.0

---

Another Stephen Ambrose book that I wanted to like but couldn't. George McGovern comes across as a terrific guy - someone I'd love to have as a neighbor - but holy cow was he dull. There were some interesting parts (particularly the dangers of flying into flak) but Ambrose missed an opportunity to tell an interesting story here.
