| While the opening story, "A Nazi Shall Die," seemed incredibly predictable, but still enjoyable.
"Treachery over the Maginot Line" was predictable, too, but there was enough doubt that I was able to get into the story in a solid way.
The story about the "Coward" went an entirely different direction than I expected.
"The Boy Who Couldn't Fly" was a cute, little story that reminded me of stories I read as a boy.
My favorite was "Death Over Hollywood." it was so stylized that it would have made a good film script itself.
I didn't know anything about skywriting, so I liked the non-fiction article, "Blackboard," and I was fascinated by "Forgotten Heroes" and the accounts of former members of Lafayette Escadrille. |
