alternating sides works well
This series follows 2 pilots, German and American. This gives interesting perspectives on the same events.
Unfortunately it has been “dummed down”. After each mission the kill/damage reports are given for each side. But in reality neither side had accurate reports, and both were wildly optimistic about their successes. Each side knew its own losses but overestimated enemy losses. In other words, much of the “fog of war” is removed.

I have read all the books of this series and have yet to be disappointed. The Author has hit a home run with his efforts. I will have to wait for the next installment. Hopefully it will not be long. Highly recommend this entire series to anyone. I will warn that the endings are left open. But it’s an excellent read.

What the heck?
Another great story of combat during World war Two. Roger Maxim uses fact and fiction together to weave a great novel. Characters are realistic, action is thrilling and facts when used are correct.
