Flyboys: A True Story of Courage by James Bradley

4.0

I'm sure this is a well researched and accurate book. My main issue is it really seemed like Bradley wanted to write about American and Japanese war atrocities and used the airman/flyboys as context. While the truth is very important, the level of detail and repetitive nature of the war crime descriptions seemed unnecessary. I just think the book should have been marketed as a ware crimes book. Since a book of that nature would have limited market appeal, it felt like the author did a bait and switch. I would recommend the book, just know what you are getting.
