Book Review- "Wings of War"
Some background:
I really appreciate reading things I and my peers normally wouldn't read. This has led to some interesting ways to find books:
Recommendations from my coworkers who I know hold way different world views from me
Discussing books in various Discord Servers and other Public Forums
Going into a Thrift Store or Book Store and grabbing a random book
Going into a Thrift Store or Book Store with a specific theme in mind and finding a few books that fits that category If the idea interests you read more below! I'll post a brief description of the book's theme so you can decide if you're interested :D
Since I am currently switching career paths from working on Naval Vessels to working on Air Planes (by working on, I mean the construction of. I'm a civilian who builds some cool stuff) Many of the books I've been reading are related to WWII - The Cold War Era. Many leaps and bounds in technology were made during this roughly 80 year period, and as a result the history of much of the tech we use today can be found through this era.
The Book I'll be reviewing today is "Wings of War" by author couple David Fairbank White and Margaret Stanback White. I found this one in Barnes and Noble! One thing I loved about this book was its narrative storytelling. Though it's a book about history, it doesn't read like a history textbook in which a series of facts and dates are being presented to you. Instead, it is a collection of stories regarding various politicians, military leaders, civilian workers (mechanics, designers, etc.) and Ace pilots which aim to tell a linear story of the P-51 Mustang. It tells the stories from their points of view, which made for a very interesting read.
I value this book because, not only did it offer praise to the people leading of this time, it offered criticism. It does not simply glorify the act of war and the politicians in power as untouchable deities. Instead, it offers insight to their mistakes, what they could have done better, and how, in many cases, they failed.
The way this book was written made it very difficult for me to put down. I feel like I walked away with a better understanding of the WWII air battles, the importance of the P-51 Mustang, and how this plane set the stage for modern flight, while also being the war winning plane the Allies needed against the Luftwaffe.
If you have any interest in WWII history (at least through the American Lens), I strongly recommend this book!
Some things I personally want to research now that I've read this book:
Winston Churchill- was he actually a good PM or is this a case of Victors writing history? Same for FDR
How does US currency of then relate to today, people were able to buy single seater Airplanes on an average 9-5 job but I can barely afford my car payment????
What happened to political leaders and the wealthy of today either serving or encouraging their children to serve? It seems to be much more common back then, and how can they expect the average person to serve if they themselves won't?
I'd like to look into the WASP unit, apparently the first group of female pilots in the military. Though they didn't fight, they did cross the entire Atlantic ferrying fighters to the UK. Quite the feat during that time
The Tuskegee Airmen, the segregated all Black 332nd fighter group, who became the most sought after to accompany bombers during raids due to their extremely high success rate. It was noted Black people were not to become pilots because "they lacked the intelligence and reactions that flying demanded", among other racist reasons. Truly empowering that they became the most sought after, after being oppressed so severely.
