Critical Praise
"In Flyboys, James Bradley combines his tenacious detective skills with his gifts as a master storyteller to produce a tragic epic of two empires. I wept not only for the American pilots, but for all the millions of people who died needlessly in the Pacific war."
-Iris Chang, author of The Rape of Nanking and The Chinese in America
"A powerful, compelling look at a tragic time in our history."
-W. E. B. Griffin, author of the Badge of Honor series
"James Bradley has once again given us the human face of a war we thought we knew, and in doing so has forced us not only to rethink our history but, far more important, to re-feel it. Flyboys is a triumph of careful listening, of far-flung reportage, and, most of all, of thoroughgoing empathy."
-Hampton Sides, author of Ghost Soldiers
