Teapot Posted April 18, 2015 Author Posted April 18, 2015 The book is a gem. Very well written and difficult to put down. Those men ... an honest code that elevates them to be heroes and gives us all aspiration that we might also be cut from a similar cloth when life comes at us with our own personal challenges. Also makes flying DCS: WWII that much sweeter! :) "A true 'sandbox flight sim' requires hi-fidelity flyable non-combat utility/support aircraft."
