BOOK REVIEW: “Book traces the career of this early prophet of air power who fought the Japanese and became involved in a number of controversies. After the war, Chennault continued to serve the Nationalist Chinese Government and, along with his Civilian Air Transport (CAT), provided a number of clandestine and unique air services to Asia. The author who served under Chennault in both the 14th Air Force and CAT, writes with affection. Recommended for most collections."
