Air Adventures v1 1
Air Adventures v1 1
Comments
By Johnny L. Wilson
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.
