Summary: bravo!!
Review: This book is one of the best books i have read this season. it is a grand tale of two twin brothers who fly on opposite sides during WW2, it builds up suspense in a subtle way and has a few nice twists to the plot. I believe it is a fine example of Jack Higgins knowledge of WW2 and a fine example of his writing.

Summary: One terrific WWII novel
Review: Mr. Jack Higgins has done it again. Flight of Eagles is one terrific WWII novel. Harry and Max Kelso are two terrific new characters. As are Jack's other usual WWII characters.(Dougal Munroe, Jack Carter, Julie Legrande, and Zec Acland) Of course his locations are great to. I really enjoyed reading this book. I never tire of Jack Higgins. I very much look foward to his next new book. Whether it is WWII(his best stuff) or Sean Dillon, Charles Ferguson, and Hannah Bernstein. Thank you Jack for another terrific read. By the way does anybody know how to contact Mr. Higgins? I would really like to know. God bless

Summary: One of the best books I ever read
Review: The is book has alot off action in it. It's about two twin brothers fighting against each other. One is one Garmen side and the other is on the British
Rating: 
Summary: Good plot, superficially written.
Review: One expects rather tougher action in these days, and that's where this book fails, in my opinion. The plot, identical twins separated before WW2, one living in Germany and the other in the USA, is very well thought of. Their rise in their cultures and exploits in fighter combat is a little short of depth and the ending of the book is somewhat cursorily treated. We do get an in-depth picture of London during war times and some of the intelligence work done by both sides, but the main characters of the novel are a little two-dimensional. On the other hand, the supporting gallery of personae are well thought out and carry the story. Many dramatic things happen, both in the present and back in various decades, and the author's deft hand holds it nicely together. All in all, a good read during vacation while waiting for a plane or whatever, but for a better read on a somewhat similar subject I recommend Colin Willock's *The Fighters*

Summary: Outstanding book
Review: I loved reading this book. A truly riveting story. My only disappointment was when I was finished reading it. Like an empty glass and me with a thirst for more.

Summary: Excellent, up to his usual standards!
Review: Higgins knowledge of WWII never ceases to amaze me. Be prepared to read this one cover to cover.

Summary: Flies high!
Review: Higgins' Flight of Eagles is fine novel of war in the air, much in the flavor and style of The Triumph and the Glory or Flight of the Intruder.

Summary: A Great Read
Review: I enjoyed this book greatly. I have only read a couple of other Higgins books, but will be sure to read them all now.If you like WWII tales, this is a MUST.

Summary: WOW!
Review: Higgins, as usual, has rendered a technically accurate and tactically competent story of two airmen of the second world war who serve on the same front...in opposing armies. His mix of adventure and romance is among his finest works. A good read. Wiley Winter CPT AR

Summary: Not his best work.
Review: I have enjoyed Higgins' novels in the past, but this one did not live up to what I was expecting. I thought the characters were a bit too melodramatic, and the plot seemed to rub against the same plot in "The Eagle has Landed". How many times did Hitler plan to kill Eisenhower? I would rather read the stories about the IRA and Sean Ryan than this book. I am glad that I read the book, though, because it got me back in touch with Higgins. I would advise people if they want to read this book, to get it from the library instead of buying it.
