A Higher Call: An Incredible True Story of Combat And Chivalry in the War-Torn Skies of World War Ii

I liked but did not love this book. It had so many tangents and hopefully this is not a spoiler but it is more about the lives of the various pilots from Allies and Germany than their interaction as the book cover suggests. It did a nice job of going into the very complex dynamics of the Air Force in Germany under Hitler. I wish I could have given it more stars but frankly almost did not finish it multiple times.

I picked this up on a whim at the library since I usually ...enjoy any combat tales involving aviation or armor. The back stories of the main characters are actually much more interesting than the "act of chivalry" portrayed in the story. The author gives a very enlightening look at the lives of German fighter pilots and American bomber pilots during WWII. It is amazing to note that the 8th Air Force suffered more casualties than the entire marine Corps during the war. A quick and very captivating read.MoreLess
