Customer Reviews

An awesome book about an amazing man.

My boyfriend bought this book and I finished it before he did. It was engrossing. Plane enthusiast? It satisfies. Heroism? He was remarkable and a wonderful role model who should be recognized and acclaimed. War interest? It's got plenty of knowledge of Ethiopia and the Italo-Ethiopian war. The writing is excellent because it is not just a collection of data and dates. It is life-like. Every American can be proud of this man. And like myself, one does not have to be an aviation or war history or Black history enthusiast to enjoy this book. It's about an amazing man, and those things are his story.

Excellent,Adventurous,facinating

Thomas E. Simmons has done excellent research work on this book, "The Brown Condor" I have been doing my own research and found it difficult to get accurate information. But this author has spent 8yrs of excellent work and has managed to tie all the information together so well I thought I was watching an exciting action pack Movie of very high quality. This Book should be made into a Movie. I truly love it.
