They Flew to Glory
Robert Sidney Bowen
- Reading
- Read together if useful, pausing to distinguish the organisations and place the volunteers’ service in the sequence of US involvement in the war.
- Themes
- Volunteer service and military aviation: The book recounts Americans serving as fighter pilots for France before the United States officially entered the war. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The subject is wartime fighter-pilot service, so military conflict is central. How much combat, injury or death is described remains unclear.
