Rezensionen

In this first-rate account of World War II's unsung glider pilots, Scott McGaugh takes readers on a plunging ride into the crucible of combat. McGaugh's vivid narrative combined with pilots' eyewitness testimonies provide a page-turning story of these pioneering aviators who navigated challenges in the air and on the ground with courage and perseverance. Buckle up – you're about to be towed over the battlefield in an engineless glider for a one-way trip into chaos.
