A review by heidirgorecki
Masters of the Air: America's Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany by Donald L. Miller
informative
slow-paced
3.0
There was so much information and detail in this book, and so much repetitiveness, it probably could have been close to half the length and still been ok. I’m glad I was listening on audio or it would have been a DNF.
I don’t know where the description is getting the “emotional” and fictional writing but this is definitely not that. It’s very nonfiction - not bad, good information, but very info heavy and had little on the actual pilots and crew’s stories. It wasn’t really about the bombers themselves but about how they operated, what it was like for them, results of the bombs, the strategy, the landscape, and every other peripheral item possible. Again not bad, but not as marketed.
