Seven men, so young and yet so old before their time. Seven dwarves for old Snow White, and their story of the war. The terror of night missions, the flak, the enemy fighters, the mid-air collisions… Death that strikes anywhere, any time, and the love you seek and latch on to desperately to feel alive while you can…
There is a nice introduction by Van hamme to this book. It is a war book but far more than that. You can see the art is good but what of the story? All I’m going to write about it is that, when you get to those final pages you will feel a lump in the throat.
Excellent.
