Book Reviews of George Preddy : Top Mustang Ace
Book Review: A comprehensive biography of one of America's best
Summary: 5 Stars
George Preddy is best known for two things: being the highest scoring Mustang ace and being killed in a tragic friendly fire incident on Christmas Day 1944. Much of what has been written about Preddy in the history books has been a re-hash of some commonly known information. However,'Top Mustang Ace' tells the full story. Though Joe Noah is George Preddy's cousin, he is an unbiased and dedicated historian. Many of the over 100 photos in the book have never been published before, including rare gun camera footage. The authors have done a thorough job; they interviewed many of Preddy's squadronmates and family, used official combat reports and even Preddy's diary entries to paint a portrait of the man behind the legend. Any WWII aviation buff would be impressed by the amount of work that went into this book.
