Absolutely a book that's hard to put down
Published by Tom Mckenzie , 3 months ago
Have been a WW2 reading buff for a lot of years. This true story should have been made into a movie.
Great book

I knew the story that the book is based on. The author went into more detail. I've seen the interviews but I wanted the entire history. Very well done
One of the best stories from WWII that I have read!

I have been a student of WWII since I was a kid. I knew that many Germans were not Nazis. This story brings that out more than any that I have read. It is an inspiration. There were many good men in each army and this is proof.
Excellent Read!!

This is one of the best WWII books out there! A definite keeper. =) It opened my eyes to a whole different side of the Germans that fought in the war.
Good story, mediocre writing.
Published by Jerry K , 2 years ago
While the story is fascinating the writing is filled with minor errors a good editor should have caught.
Incredible and very inspiring story! This book is a must read if you are interested in World War II.

I loved that it gives both sides of the story of World War II pilots (American and German), and shows the humanity of both.
An amazing story

This is a very interesting book. It's hard to put down. It's written from both sides of the picture. Charlie Brown the American bomber and Franz Stigler the German fighter. It's a true story that shows that shows that all because a man is on the other side doesn't mean he's bad. My Dad and my siblings ages 8 and up all loved the book. Some details might not be exactly for young readers. But we enjoyed it anyway. A must read. Includes pictures.
