Audiobook is immersive. One of the best Iâve listened to. Author/producers used audio from primary sources when available.
Malcolm Gladwell is the man! I am extremely interested in aviation and aviation history so this book hit the sweet spot. You can never go wrong with a Malcolm Gladwell audio book, I flew through this one.
(Audio)A really thorough review of the bomber influence during WWII, complete with sound bites and interviews with experts and researchers. Insightful journalism with lovely personal flair. Malcom does an excellent job at teaching and learning with you the importance of the technical advances during World War Two.
Actually found a non-fiction book I really enjoyed. Super interesting. I had no idea about any of this or the history of the Air Force. If you’re into airplanes, history, or war I would highly recommend this!
