I have read numerous other books both historical and biographical regarding pilots experiences and this definitely ranks in the top ten. Detailed and clearly written experiences of Richey and other pilots who flew with him. Book explains and details specifically the events of the "Phony War of WWII."Describes the ineffective efforts and decisions of both the British and French and the reasons that helped the Germans to be successful with their blizkreig offense.The book does devote a great deal to his actual flying experiences; written by Richey himself; describing many of his actual days and flights in combat.Book also provide insight to his personality; ethical; and moral values. Does and excellent job of showing his human side.Highly recommend this book to WWII buffs and especially those who enjoy reading about flying and fighter pilots.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
