The Flying Circus: Pacific War -1943- As Seen Through A Bombsight – Book Review

Richard N Story | January 17, 2006  | 0 comments  | Print  | E-mail

The Flying Circus is a well written and easy to read military history. Jim Wright writes as if he was talking to the reader and his writing is both technically and artistically well written with no grammatical or typographical errors. The photos are complimentary to the text, but the inclusion of the photo of Gary Cooper and his USO troop visiting Fenton is a mystery as the author was not there at the time. The only other real fault that can be found with the book is the lack of an index. When referencing various technical details and locations around the world that are mentioned in the book, the lack of an index can be considered a serious flaw and it does unfortunately lessen the appeal of the book.
