I found this to be an outstanding book. It gave detailed descriptions of conditions in both the American and German Air Forces during WWII. The psychological toll was overwhelming, but the high point in the book is the brief meeting of the two main characters over Germany in the middle of a bombing raid. It was a very good read.

If you want a good understanding of the War through the eyes of a German Pilot and a great story, this book is for you. I enjoyed it.
