4.0 out of 5 stars
Strike from the Skies,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: STRIKE FROM THE SKY (Smithsonian History of Aviation and Spaceflight Series) (Hardcover)
Strike from the Skies was a pretty good book. It was well written and thoroughly researched but I feel it spent too much time dsicussing close air support during the intra-war years and not enough time on World War Two.
This may seem like a very petty criticism but the photo on the cover didn't really make much sense. I would have expected a P-47 or Typhoon or IL-2 or even a Stuka blowing a tank to smithereens, not a B-26 flying at 10,000 feet. Maybe I was expecting more "stories of sorties" but I felt the text was a bit dry. I guess I thought it would read more like an adventure novel and therefore was somewhat disappointed. (Flying down on the deck strafing enemy positions has to be a bit of a thrill, right?) |
