AdemaIn this book Robert Serling chose a subject that most writers of commercial airline history have not dealt with. The result is a very interesting and revealing story of the very significant contribution our country's airlines made to the war effort during most of WW II. I stopped short of giving the book a 5-star rating because I found a few minor historical errors in the text; e.g. Germany's invasion of the Low Countries and France taking place in the spring of 1941 i.s.o. a year earlier. Otherwise a great read in the tradition of Mr. Serling's many contributions to our country's commercial aviation history.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good overviewBy Robert W. WinterThis book is especially good in showing how the airline industry preplanned its involvement in World War Two; and at how hard its combined fleet was hit by Army and Navy requisitions; some lines being left with two airplanes to cover their civil routes! We sit in also on some ATA conferences with Eddie Rickenbacker; C. R. Smith; William Patterson and the gang. The Naval Air Transport Service is covered along with the Air Transport Command; and many of us will be surprised to learn what a big role the airlines played not just in air and ground crew training; but in setting up and running the facilities themselves; as well as modification centers for warplanes between factory and war zone.What I did not like about this book was the extensive postwar coverage; and fellow purists will share my concern that some of the aircraft discuased; even photographed (!); lack propellors.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. well worth readingBy fred sladekgreat History young employees should hv to read this to understand their employment with an airline.
