If this was a movie it would be in black and white and Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed would play the lead roles... I loved it. The characters were well developed and the story is paced well. The alternative history is accurate. And he sure knows his WWII warbirds. I am a major warbird fanatic and he had me heading to Wikipedia a couple of times. The only gap was no mention of the Pacific theater changes. I hope that is the topic of his next book.
