Each pilot is covered in relatively great detail and has color profiles of each of the aircraft they flew. In addition, those aircraft are well covered in photographs.
Unfortunately, like the first two I reviewed in this series, this book also exhibits numerous grammatical and structural issues. One annoyance is the lack of closing quotes on quotations. It's difficult to know when the quote stops and the author's text begins.
Even with the issues, it's important to acknowledge that these books comprehensively cover the Medal of Honor recipients as outlined above from the USAAF during World War II.
I definitely thank Aeronaut Books for sending this book for review. Contact them direct for ordering information.
