This is the second time I've read this book, but my first time listening to it... Emotional, fascinating, at times harrowing.

Meticulously reported from first hand sources. The best way to get the full picture of that horrible, horrible day.

Heartbreaking and incredibly well done, this book had me hooked on every word, though I did have to stop and take many breaks, as the content is so heart wrenching and hard to process through. Highly recommend the audio version.

What an incredible, emotional, heart-wrenching book!

I'm so glad I started listening to audiobooks a few years back so I could experience The Only Plane in the Sky in this format, because reading this in print, while surely still being a 5-star read for me, would not have had the same impact.
