"A Decent Personal Account of WWII",
By John J. Rust (Prescott, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flak at 12 O'Clock (Paperback)
Not a bad personal story of one man who fought in the Second World War. It was interesting to look at some of the ways people in the Heartland lived during the Depression (Bloyd's house had no running water or electricity). His journey through air training was quite an experience. Amazing how the Army can really find ways to screw you, from bitter instructors to telling you they don't need you flying a certain aircraft after you've just qualified on it. He did talk about some pretty hairy experiences, from flying through storms to getting bounced by flak to having German Me-262 jet fighters blast through his formation. Quite a few times I would have liked Bloyd to go into more detail about those events. Bottom line, he had some good descriptions, but not to the point where I felt I was in the cockpit with those guys. Same with some of his stories on the ground. Good stuff, but a little more detail would have really rought it to life.Still, it certainly is an enjoyable read. |
