920 Bra Flyboys is a thrilling novel written by James Bradley, who also wrote a New York Times Best Seller, Flags of Our Fathers. Flyboys tells a true story of nine Marine and Naval pilots who are shot down in Japan over the island of Chichi Jima while on a bombing mission to destroy Japanese radio towers during World War II. Sadly, the pilots become prisoners of war under Japan and are imprisoned and faced with the fear of being executed. I read this book because after reading Flags of our Fathers I was left in awe at the quality of the book so I only wanted more, and got the same out of Flyboys as I did Flags of our Fathers. I recommend this novel to anyone looking for a thrilling novel about war and the story of friendship between soldiers. |
