I loved it!! It's wasn't what I thought it was. I thought it would be boring and there won't excite me but you Spenser Dunmore proved me wrong cause I never read anything like this before!!

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
This book would be easy to give a negative review until you realize the task that Dunmore took on in just 400 pages.

Dunmore sprinkles this with a Reader's Digest outline of the war's events to give us an entertaining view of the RCAF's huge contribution to the Allied air struggle. While not necessarily for academics, Above and Beyond is a welcome addition to the literature in this area
