★☆☆☆☆
Trivial and inaccurate
Trivial and superficial. Terrible error on page 121 where he writes that the Enola Gay dropped both H-Bombs. The B-29 Enola Gay dropped the uranium bomb nicknamed "Little Boy" over Hiroshima and the B-29 Bockscar dropped the plutonium bomb nicknamed "Fat Man" over Nagasaki. To make such an error in what is purported to be a history of aerial bombing is reflective of the sloppy nature of the book.
