another amazing tale from Lee

Revisado: 12-22-22

a must for any aviator or history buff. Air Vice Marshall Lee has an amazing way with words. His honesty of life as a WW1 aviator that lived through so much really gives you the life and times of all aviators of that war.

I enjoyed every minute

Revisado: 11-02-21

granted the story is very long but do not let that deter you. This book is many stories all interwoven. the detail in every branch setting up or effecting the next. both sides are given fair voices. readers get to love through each character and it ties you emotionally to the survival of both sides of a single war. wanting both sides to both win and lose is the true nature of War presented in this book.

I'm so glad I bought this book

Revisado: 03-20-21

recently I've spent a lot of time catching up on historical Aviation audio books that I've been wanting to listen to for many years. This one was not on my watchlist previously after finding it at a used book sale from a library I picked it up undecided to listen to it as well as reference the paperback. I'm so very glad that I did. not the most riveting of the books I have read but definitely the one I knew the least about and learn the most from. I would have to leave listen to this again and I will tell my friends who are also Aviation fans to give it a read or listen to.

one of the best books I've ever listen to

Revisado: 09-12-19

what a life. the man truly was a legend in every way and yet he's had struggles like everyone of us. his story goes on to show and with some discipline, integrity, and hard work you can really make something special of yourself.

loved it, and made for quick listening.

I can't believe I waited this long to listen to or read Animal Farm. I cannot stress enough but every person from every nation should read this book in their native language. I listen to this in a single day on a single road trip, and when I stopped for gas or food I couldn't wait to start to drive again to hear more.

fantastic insights

Revisado: 05-25-19

with a multiple stories from different individuals sometimes even the same event from another point of view give this book something very unique. to hear the stories take the words of those who lived it gives it very special meaning and I love the touch that it's like sitting down and watching a TED Talk from these Pilots. At the end they even give opinions recommendations and inspiration to the Young Generation. I will reread or in this case listen to this book and I will try to find it in hardcover to look for the accompanying photos.

so good that I want the paper version now

Revisado: 04-30-19

I love this audio book and could not stop listening. Truly inspirational these men were. I found the book at my local library as well I discovered that it was full of photographs. I recommend checking it out from your local library I'm taking a look as well because it really helps put faces to the names.

I must say I'm guilty of not knowing enough about Eddie Rickenbacker and after hearing this story my respect for him is exponentially greater. what an amazing life - one I would rather not experience my self, haha.

a delight to listen

Revisado: 01-23-18

I'm sure my love and passion for Aviation influences my opinion on this book however one cannot deny the fact that this man LED an incredible Life by any measure. he's like a real life Forrest Gump in who he has met and what he has influenced. I like this book so much that I bought the paper version as well.

I found if anything this book could have gone even deeper into detail on many topics and it would have been enjoy the same.

like nearly every book I listen to I did find I was comfortable listening at 1.2 speed. at those slightly increase speeds nearly all the books I've listened to sound more like conversation versus a lecture.

Classic

The narrator has the perfect voice for this book. You will find your self assessing every situation like a military strategist with an objective or goal to reach. Every strategy is explained and presented with historical examples. A must read/listen.
