Book Reviews of Fork-Tailed Devil: The P-38
Book Review: Captivating Chronicle of a Warbird
Summary: 5 Stars
Having read a number of Mr. Caidin's other works (Samurai!, Zero!, B-17 Flying Forts), I picked this book up expecting similar quality and detail, and was not disappointed in the least. Whereas Thunderbolt and Samurai focus on the exploits of individual pilots, with the aircraft information as a backdrop, much like the B-17 in Flying Forts, the P-38 is the main protagnoist in this story. The pilots and their missions enable the telling of this tale, but the P-38 itself truly comes to life. I have read the book three times in the past six months, and will likely begin reading #4 very shortly.
Thank you Mr. Caidin.
