A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Fight for the Sky - Douglas Bader

I bought this because I wanted to know more about the author himself. I soon learned that this book is more focused on the history of the Spitfire and Hurricane planes. I'm taking responsibility for the mistake, I should've paid more attention to the description of the book. 

This book goes into great detail of the role the Spitfire and Hurricane played in WWII for the RAF. It is broken down by theater, and many pictures are included. Also, the author has included many names and anecdotes from various pilots and people involved in the history of the planes.

I personally didn't need the level of detail that was included in this particular book, but I enjoyed the stories. I would've liked to hear a bit more of the author's personal story, but I respect that he wanted the focus to be broader and include more people and stories. Overall, if you're interested in the role of these two planes in WWII, this is a great book for you.
