Highly recommend it and had trouble putting it down. I was two years old then, so don't remember too much about it at the time, but have been to Los Alamos and Alamogordo, New Mexico.
If you like history, WWII airplanes and war stories, you'll love this book. (Not sure if I remember there being anything involving our Fords, but they must have been in there somewhere!  ) |
Half way through it and loving it. Earlier this year I read 'Killing the Rising Sun'. That was great too. The good guys won.
