Title: Jarhead flyer with a serious attitude
Review: I had great difficulty finishing this book. Tomlinson has a serious jealousy problem with some of the top allied fighter groups of WW2;e.g. Eagle Sqd., Flying Tigers, and Boyington's Black Sheet Sqd. He frequently makes statements that are contradicted by offical records. His constant snide remarks about Navy and Army pilots was very tiring. Also his writing skills left much to be desired; for example his constant use of silly cliches were very boring. I bought the book expecting to read about USMC Corsair flyers in the Pacific but read very little of actual combat. Of my extensive WW2 fighter pilot library this book is by far, the poorest.
Is the review positive or negative?
