[Colleen · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was especially interesting to me. The book is about the actual bomb group that my dad flew in in China during World War II. What the flyers portrayed in this book did is no less amazing than in Europe. Their story deserves the re-telling that has already been done for soldiers who served in Europe - a la Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, etc.

For once, I do not have to quibble with glaring factual errors in a recent work of military history. No mistakes that leap out at me. This is a serviceable work about an obscure group in a oft-forgotten theater.
