Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 25
Eddie Rickenbacker was a WWI fighter ace. He arrived in France as a fresh greenie who knew little about flying and less about air combat. He learned everything he needed while fighting against the German air force and the famous Flying Circus commanded by Manfred von Richthofen. In this biography of his wartime experiences, Eddie tells us of his midair adventures and battles as well as how he learned to "defeat the hun" and earned the title of Ace.

Worth the time for a history buff
Revisado: 07-27-19
I enjoyed this book at it is the true account of America’s top World War 1 ace. That being said he was not as great at writing as he was a doing. Don’t get me wrong, it was worth the time and I learned a lot about flying in the Great War. It was just a struggle to listen sometimes.
The narration was good and seemed to be very relaxed, except when he hit a French name. The deep accenting was jarring. I would expect it to be said more as a young American visitor would pronounce it and not exactly in high French.

Since the days of conquistador Hernán Cortés, rumors have circulated about a lost city of immense wealth hidden somewhere in the Honduran interior, called the White City or the Lost City of the Monkey God. Indigenous tribes speak of ancestors who fled there to escape the Spanish invaders, and they warn that anyone who enters this sacred city will fall ill and die.

Could have done without the last 2-3 chapters
Revisado: 03-16-17
This book was very interesting and exciting. It covers a true story in a great narrative style. The last few chapters seem like they were stuck on and didn't really fit. I still rated it five stars and highly recommend this book.
