The Grim Reapers at Work in the Pacific Theater: The Third Attack Group of the U.S. Fifth Air Force

Rating:
Summary: Flying thru New Guinea
Review: Mr. Henebry does a very good job describing his personal experience in WWII both in flying attack aircraft and leading the 3rd Attack Group. This book isn't quit as good as Wrecking Havoc, but does describe Mr. Henebry's personnal experience. On a positive note, Mr. Henebry provides a very good description of several raids on Rabaul and and insight into Pappy Gunn and others from the Southwest Pacific. This is a personal history vs. a unit history.

Summary: On Aviation, War, Blood, True Guts and the Cost of Freedom
Review: Without a doubt, the freedoms that our generation enjoy today are due to the fact that the U.S. won World War II. We won the war because of the likes of General John Henebry.
In his new book, "The Grim Reapers - At Work in the Pacific Theater," the daring and brave General John Henebry takes you in to the cockpit of his bomber to chronicle many of his 219 WWII combat missions. Beginning with his freshman year at Notre Dame in 1936 and concluding with the moving farewell and departure of 71 year-old General Douglas MacArthur from Japan in 1951, master storyteller General Henebry retells the incredible events of his life and his bravery during this period of do-or-die for our country. This outstanding book is about a group of brave flyers and military planners who had a job to do and did it with near perfection. A great read written by a true American war hero.
