Airmen Without Portfolio: U.S. Mercenaries in Civil War Spain

Rating:
Summary: If you are into the SCW, then it is worth getting.
Review: The first few chapters had me worried about where the book was going. These chapters contains the background to the war which is common knowledge to most SCW buffs. Chapter four gets to the stuff you would expect from the book and my opinion turned positive. The lives, missions and interactions are described very well and the story becomes more interesting as it goes on. This book gave me a better appreciation of the Republican Airwar during their hey-day and the tight relation between the Americans in the "La Patrulla Americana". It is a small book with only 150 pages and generally pulls together information into one source. I found it a very quick read and a good addition to my SCW collection. I rate it 3 stars due to the VERY high price.
