Book Reviews of The Legionnaire
Book Review: American Air Aces of WW I
Summary: 5 Stars
Our history books and movies too often focus on the larger-than-life heroes, at the expense of the real people that got the real things done. In this novel, the author puts the spotlight where it belongs. Young American men, barely out of high school, enlist in the service to help the French in WWI by joining the infant air services. The book has been extensivly researched for accuracy, and the author develops characters the reader will readily embrace. No one reading this well-crafted novel will ever view a WWI-era airplane the same way again. The author does for young American pilots of WWI what Stephen Ambrose does for the infantry soldiers of WWII. Put "The Legionaire" on your shelf.
