Reader recommendation: Flyboys

Monitor readers share their favorite book picks.

By Dave Stallard, Wise, Va.

Flyboys, by James Bradley, tells the story of the first generation of American pilots in World War II. I am astounded by the bravery displayed by mere boys – most between the ages of 18 and 25 – as they flew around the Pacific Ocean, often never to return.
