Customer Reviews
Tornado Down
A compelling read from cover to cover. The account is so well written it almost comes across as a fictional read and I found myself being reminded it was true. It made me laugh and cry in places but overall it gave me a great respect for these men and their families.
Amazing story of courage
Impossible to put down and very informative. Great drama & detail made for an amazing read
Couldn't put it down
This is one of the best books I have ever read. It tells the story of John and his pilots capture both from theirs and their families perspectives. Chilling insight into punishment a human can take whilst imprisoned during a conflict. A difficult book to put down
