Five StarsBy CustomerA good explanation of a mission that "cost" a great deal and did little.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. great research and factualBy CustomerThe book had many many details that came from good research and personal interviews...I would recommend this book to any and all who had family members flying in this project.7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. A well researched bookBy D. ClewettI think Stout has done a great job in covering the missions to attack the Romanian oil fields at Ploesti. It is well researched and gives a good insight into reasons certain tactics were used; and also gives good first hand accounts of the action. His knowledge of the subject and his understanding of the practicalities of the fluid nature of air combat from his flying background make this a sound work.I would have given it five stars apart from the fact I found the book a little disjointed at times. I would have liked a little more structure from an editing standpoint.
