This book has lots of information about something was seemingly skipped over in history classes. However, I found myself not particularly wanting to pick it up. I think it’s a great way to learn, but was lacking intrigue I needed.

This book takes a look at a microcosm within the Pacific theater of World War II: the air battles for and above New Guinea. As the author points out at the beginning of the book, many people of the world are woefully unaware even of were New Guinea is located, let alone any relevant historical events related to New Guinea. Having listened to this book, I now have a better understanding of the role New Guinea played in WWII, and a greater respect for the pilots, other airmen, and friendly natives discussed. A very interesting historical account for anyone interested in WWII history.
