Book Reviews of The Man Who Flew the Memphis Belle: Memoir of a WWII Bomber Pilot
Book Review: A Beautifuly Written Memoir
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far the best autobiography I've read. So many times autobiographies are full of technical data but lack the emotion of what the author was thinking. But this book stands above the rest, yes it has the technical data that we all crave but it has the emotions as well. You feel as if you are the pilot as you read the book, as if you are Col. Robert Morgan, flying your B-17 on bombing missions over Germany and France and later flying a B-29 over Japan. Every time he mentions a friend being killed in front of him you feel his pain, his sadness at losing a close friend, almost as if you lost a close friend. Everytime he talks about the sites and sounds and smells of war, it's as if you can actually feel and smell them. It's as if you're actually there.
This book has a very natural quality to it which makes it very easy to read, it almost feels as if you and Bob are having lunch as he's telling you all about his war time and post war experiences.
I would recomend this book to anyone who loves history, anyone who has an intrest in a war that defined our nation, or anyone who is just looking for a great read. You will not be disappointed, I guarantee that.
