Table of ContentsReviewsJames Busha (editor for EAA's Warbirds of America as well as EAA's Vintage Airplane, to name only two of his literary accomplishments) has accomplished a wondrous job in the writing of, The Fight in the Clouds. Get this book to feel what it is like to fly a Mustang as well as what it felt like to be a World War II combatant in North America's defining aircraft. --Travel for Aircraft Blog, Seattle Post-Intelligencer Just when you think you have enough Mustang books in your library, Jim Busha comes along and makes buying another absolutely mandatory! His research and writing abilities shine in this very personalized tale of the famous P-51 and its heroic young pilots. The book begins with a moving tribute to those who gave their lives flying the fighter and then profiles the brilliant history of the aircraft throughout World War II. A great book from a master storyteller who loves and knows the subject! --Walter J. Boyne, USAF (Ret.), former director of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum The variety of stories in The Fight in the Clouds is exceptional, covering units in the European, Mediterranean, and Pacific Theaters of World War II, with RAF pilots as well. Today, when WWII veterans are 'departing the pattern' in growing numbers, the remembrances in Jim Busha's book assume even greater importance for future readers. Well done! --Barrett Tillman, author of Whirlwind: The War Against Japan, 1942-1945 Author InformationJim P.
