5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating look at WWII from one mans perspective., July 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Memoirs of a Marauder Pilot (Hardcover)

This is the inside true story of a B-26 bomber pilot, including his early military training, the initial
excitement of war, and the eventual pain of losing friends and fellow pilots in Europe. Some of
the vignettes were amusing; many were poignant.
Bauers also tells of his military career and his years as a military attache in Pakistan. All in
all, the book was both enlightening and entertaining. A worthwhile read for anyone interested in
WWII history.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very personal account of flying the Marauder, July 23, 2002

This review is from: Memoirs of a Marauder Pilot (Hardcover)

Memoirs of a Marauder Pilot is real life rather than contrived. It's a very personal account of young man coming of age in some of the most challenging times of the last century. At the heart of the book is a detailed description of his piloting a difficult if not dangerous aircraft known at the Marauder in battle in WWII. But the book has much more. It goes on to describe how that experience affected him through his life. His life ends up being as interesting as his recollections of battle as he describes finding the woman of his dreams, his foreign service career and his work after leaving the service. This book is different from other war autobiographies in that it lets the reader into the life of the author before and after the military action.
