December 1941: Manila is invaded, and US citizen and Philippines Airlines manager Pappy Gunn is ordered to fly key military command out of the country, leaving his family at home. So Gunn was miles away when the Japanese captured his wife and children, placing them in an internment camp where they faced disease, abuse, and starvation. Gunn spent three years trying to rescue them. His exploits became legend as he revolutionized the art of air warfare, devising his own weaponry, missions, and more.

Excellent listening for aviation buffs!

If you could sum up Wings of Valor: Real-Life Aviation Adventures in War and Peace in three words, what would they be?

Interesting, adventurous, & educational

What other book might you compare Wings of Valor: Real-Life Aviation Adventures in War and Peace to and why?

I would compare Wings of Valor to many different great aviation books I've read over the years. Some of the stories about unique bomb types were very intriguing.

What does Jack Clancy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Clancy is passionate about the material and has good skills building the characters. He makes more a great listen!

Any additional comments?

I highly recommend this book!

Do Not Bother - A Collection of Snippets

Any additional comments?

This is just a collection of emailed questions and miscellaneous stories that turn out to be mostly harmless. There are 1 or 2 decent ones in there but it supplies about 15 minutes of pleasure and about an hour and a half of pain.

Great Variety!

I really enjoyed Wings of Valor. Each story had a unique setting and twist. Taken together they paint a picture of the brave and innovative men and women involved in aviation. Jack's read brought it all to life and kept me in the moment.
