Summary: A sure-fire adrenaline pumper from WW2
Review: Foss and Brennan go much in thevein of books by Eric Hammel, but what I find better in this book is the length of the excerpts. Covering four wars, they let each pilot describe a longer sequence of events than what is found in Hammel's books, for example Jeff De Blanc gives an account of his miraculous rescue after being shot down over Kolombangara. In Hammel's Aces Part 1, the reader is left wondering about that bit.

First-hand accounts can be boring, but not one of this book's accounts is.
