Foss and Brennan go much in thevein of books by Eric Hammel, but what I find better in this book is the length of the excerpts. Covering four wars, they let each pilot describe a longer sequence of events than what is found in Hammel's books, for example Jeff De Blanc gives an account of his miraculous rescue after being shot down over Kolombangara.
