Praise For…
"Most suitable for teachers or senior students interested in wartime history and how the allied air force contributed to the defeat of the German regime." - Diana Mumford, Canadian Teacher Magazine Fall 2008
One reason I think someone should buy this book is because the author has included neat facts, pictures and amazing wordplay in the margins to captivate the reader’s attention throughout the book. Also the author has written an interesting story about a non-fictional historical topic. And finally, the author has given more publicity to a well-known war hero and historical event.
Steve Pitt is an amazing writer inspired by many different things including previous books he’s read, cartoons and comics.
