Flyboys by James Bradley




What will you learn about history?
This book is an inside look at what it was like to be a pilot in the Pacific during World War II. It also tells the stories of those who were captured by the Japanese. Readers will also meet a young George Bush and gain an appreciation for his service to America before his career in politics.


Why should you read this book?
This is the heart wrenching story of the brave flyboys who made World War II shorter with their fearless heroics in the South Pacific. The stories behind these pilots were filled with information and details that even historians have not been exposed to. The author allows us to get to know the Americans who gave the ultimate sacrifice and creates outrage when we find out what really happened to them and how it was covered up by war officials. A good read for anyone interested in understaning the decisions that were made in the Pacific during World War II. It is also a great book for those who crave the adventure and action of a war story.
