Great Stories

This is truly a great collection of stories. The book has passages from various fighter pilots from various nations who took part in the Second World War's battles in the air. Told by the aces themselves, this book is a great read, and provides insight into the actions of many of these brave men as they risked their lives thousands of feet above, fighting for their countries as well as their own survival.
