Race of Aces: WWII's Elite Airmen and the Epic Battle to Become the Master of the Sky Free Audiobook Download by John R Bruning

In 1942, the United States entered WWII with just a few hundred planes. This made it extremely difficult to fight against Nazi Germany. One of the most formidable weapons in this struggle was the fighter plane--a feathered killing machine that could take down an enemy's warplanes without getting shot down in return. Now, for the first time, author John R Bruning gives us all the details about the War of Air, a face-off between America and Germany for control of the skies.

This is a tale of air battle over Germany told from the perspective of some of America's best and brightest. The narrative centers on the lives of four pilots between the ages of 20-24 who were competing for the top spot in a peacetime Air Corps training program, while they also attempt to find love, learn how to handle their new powers and skills, and avoid being singled out by the Nazi regime.

It was now 1945. The war in Europe was over and the Allies had won, but it was still a difficult time for many people as they faced difficult choices before them. One such person was John R Bruning. He watched as his fellow airmen were killed in aerial combat or shot down during their return to America, one by one. As an American pilot flying during the war, he could have been at home with his family and out of danger. However, he chose to stay and fight alongside his comrades, and do everything in his power to become the master of the sky.

"The Battle of Britain was not won by air power alone," the narrator says, "but those men and women who flew in it were the ones that made all the difference." The Battle of Britain was a pivotal moment in WWII where the Nazi's failed at their attempt to defeat Great Britain. In this book, John R Bruning tells of this battle that has been documented extensively throughout history.

In the book, "Race of Aces" John Bruning tells the story of one of aviation's most amazing and enduring rivalries. The aerial battles in this war were some of the most intense in history, and they produced some of the greatest fighter aces who would become legends. This is the story of those fighters, those pilots, and their incredible achievements.
