This book gives a first person "blow by blow" description of life aboard B-25 and A-20 strafers. From the stock medium bombers with which the third Attack Group, 5th Army Air Force was supplied, to the {sometimes) 14 forward firing fifty caliber machine guns and 75 or 20 millimeter cannons retrofitted in Australia under the guidance of Paul "Pappy" Gunn.
These planes flew just a few feet above the trees, water and targets of opportunity. I'm looking forward to the follow-up book. My father spent eighteen months of the war in a B-25 strafer named "Murder Inc." which his crew in the 12th Fighter squadron, 18th Fighter group 13th AAF flew after it was discarded by the 3rd Attack group on the island of Biak.
A very quick read and great information for the WW2 enthusiast.

The General is a fair story teller. And, he has a heart of gold. But, I was not looking for such romance (not that there are women in it)- it's just a kind of adventure I was not expecting. I guess it's too personal- too many "I"s and "Me"s in it. I can say it came across as truthful and it gave a fair flavor of what it was like serving in some of the primitive bases in the south Pacific. But, really, there was not much flying, not enough actually out there on a mission- When he talks about the missions, he is very vague, and the detail falls out immediately- more like, "We were assigned to fly to Xxx, we went and dropped some bombs, most missed, so-and-so was shot down, we had some flack damage- and landed back at base". But talking about parties and fun at base, the detail comes alive. What??? Just not exactly what I wanted in a story about flying int he South Pacific in B-25's in WWII.
