![]() ![]() ![]() Overall: A very interesting and accurate 1st person account of life and death in the 8th Air Force in WWII. AUDIBLE - You really should listen to your own finished products once in a while. But the effect was that it sounded like they had an audio intern doing the editing. Not having the printed version, I do not know. It could be (I am speculating here and giving them the benefit of the doubt) that these sections were the block quote sections that started a given section, and as such if you were reading it, you would have just skimmed over it when you hit that section in the printed version. The thing that almost ruined this audio book for me was that they would repeat ENTIRE paragraphs almost every chapter, so you would listen to the same thing over and over. (See Performance Below) Performance: Richard Rieman did a good job, albeit a little stiffly. This audio book did try my patience extremely and was no fault of the author or narrator. Anytime you are dealing with a real person and a real account of extraordinary events, I find it is usually worth the effort. ![]() It is told through notes home and various diaries and other accounts and as such is not easy reading (or listening in this case) but is none the less compelling because of that. Story: The first person account of B-17 Flying Fortress Susan Ruth's Aircraft Commander, Lieutenant Howard Snyder. ![]()
