3.0 out of 5 stars A true legend, December 1, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
For aviation enthusiasts and fans of Ernest K. Gann this is a worthwhile read. The storyline is tame and a bit of a cliche by all of the modern mystery and adventure stories that have suceeded "Band of brothers". Still it is skillfully told and is in a way a time capsule of both the cold war era and the state of aviation during the start of the "jet age". Gann's characterizations of these aviation pioneers pays tribute to the human spirit as well as the adversity and challenges that the airline industry faced in the early days. I would recommend this work as a companion to "Fate is the Hunter".

3.0 out of 5 stars Sorry, but in this one Gann falls short, January 15, 2012

This review is from: Band of Brothers (Hardcover)
I am an avid Gann fan. His books have generally given me so much pleasure and inspiration, I just have no words to tell. However, in this book, a work of fiction, I find his story just too much to accept. I suppose it is because he has always made the true life stories so immediately life like for me and his true adventures are simply so much more adventurous than just about any fictions I have ever read. His style is there, his devotion to his craft is there, and the work is certainly well colored and life-like,. It is just that for me, I simply felt let down for the content and the asking of the writer to believe a stretch too far. No one is perfect, and I would never think this book exposes any "clay feet". No one is perfect. This book is a testament to that maxim.

A good book for aviation enthusiasts but not as good as Gann's Fate is The Hunter which is an outstanding view into the early world of aviation.
