A review by mullinstreetzoo
The Aviators: Eddie Rickenbacker, Jimmy Doolittle, Charles Lindbergh, and the Epic Age of Flight by Winston Groom
4.0
I loved it! This period of history is so captivating! The stories of these men who were daring and intelligent makes me long for days when manhood was defined, it seems, a different way. To me, their courage is expressed not only in doing things that were incredibly dangerous, but in the courage of their convictions--in being bold enough to tell the truth as they saw it even when it was unpopular, to change direction when their opinions were proved wrong. (I know some reviewers are upset about historical errors in text. These don't bother me as much as they might others--they seem largely inconsequential to the thread of the story, but that's just me.)
