Flight of the Eagles

This was absolutely the best book I have ever read. I can read and 350 page book and be done with it in about a day, but this book was different. I could not set this book down. I read it in the morning, in school, at home, and in bed. I felt like I was living the story as I read page after page. From the very beginning, the pages were packed with excitement, adventure, true facts about WWII, and a little romance mixed in. I loved this book so much, I read it 5 times, and wrote 3 reports about it for school. If you are looking for a good read, this is most definantly the book for you.

Good Story

This is a really good story that will keep you interested and wondering until the end. Wonderful twists and turns... just when you think you have figured it out... here comes another. Holds the readers interest until the end. most enjoyable and entertaining.

this is just a super book. higgins turns a true story into a fast paced adventure story. all the characters are great. this was my 11th higgins book, and one of the best i've read.

A book of Intriguing WWII action!

I have read most of Jack Higgin's books and it is my opinion that this is one of his finest works. Harry and Max Kelso are twins with an English father and a German mother who is the heir to a German Baroness. This makes Max, the elder by 2 minutes, the Baron van Halder. After the twin's father dies, the Baroness takes Max with her to Germany. Each of the brothers has a knack for flying and when the war starts up the both join their respected sides. This wonderfully portrayed novel tells te story of their exploits during the war and is capped off by a very surprising and great ending.
