Reseña del libro "Planes, Trains, and War Games: A Fleet Air Arm Pilot's WWII Memoirs (en Inglés)"
If you enjoy stories of bygone eras that are historically accurate and feature real characters with adventurous spirits, you will love Planes, Trains, and War Games, a collection of WWII memoirs written by the late J.A. Shipperlee. His various accounts of true events while serving as a pilot in the Fleet Air Arm are compelling and interesting reading.You will discover why the Greatest Generation earned its name as you marvel at the courage and determination of those who served their country at young ages, shouldering unimaginable responsibilities. They mourned for their dead comrades and the state of the world, yet still enjoyed an off-duty party, a fun prank with friends now and then. You'll catch a glimpse into how they lived and loved and fought fiercely but played hard whenever circumstances permitted.The chapters written by Anthea Gillian Tripp add a fresh perspective to Tony's accounts by providing insightful glimpses into her father's experiences to reveal his nature, what motivated him, and how his love of trains as a youngster helped him during the war. She masterfully connects the dots between his chapters and hers, intertwining endearing snippets of personal information throughout the book, in the form of images, a love letter, historical memorabilia, and photographs of his paintings. She relates relevant, amusing tales about her father, unveiling the romantic, playful, humorous, and sometimes daredevilish side of his character.
