Requiem for an unsung airplane and its pilotsBy Patrick FoleyBy in large Osprey's "Aircraft of the Aces" is a great series of books and this one is no exception; though it might be considered more valuable than some since there is so little written about it's subject to be found elsewhere.The authors do a wonderful job covering all the plane's and its pilot's fields of endeavor; with my favorite parts concerning combat over Finland and Pearl Harbor... the latter being very short obviously; as it was the P-36's one day of combat in U.S. colors.I dare say that one would have to be quite an expert indeed to read this book and not learn at least a few tidbits of information. And therein lies my enjoyment with this series in general and this book in particular... if you're looking for some long; scholarly; in-depth tome covering every aspect of the P-36's development; deployment; servicing and operation; this isn't it. If instead you'd like some well written; light reading about a mostly forgotten airplane (usually overshadowed by its inline-engined offspring) and the valiant young men who flew it into harm's way you will enjoy this book!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
