Book Review of Flyboys: A True Story of Courage

Flyboys: A True Story of Courage
reviewed on


Absolutely loved this book! I first read Flags of Our Fathers by James Bradley, which is one of my favorite books, so I thought to read Flyboys as well. Bradley tells a harrowing story of the fate of the Flyboys who were bombing Chichi Jima during WWII. Some parts of it are difficult to read in that they are so gruesome it is appalling. Flyboys gives a different view on both the Japanese and the Americans. The book is very informative, intriguing, and perhaps a little frightening, but well worth the read.
