BIG WEEK The Biggest Air Battle of World War II

Narrator Grover Gardner takes listeners through the buildup and events of the greatest Allied air operation of WWII--which most people have never heard of. The battle took place in Europe in February 1944. The story swings from technical details about how much fuel a bomber can carry to the tactics of a dogfight. Gardner lives up to the challenge, smoothly moving between a cool and steady delivery of narrative and tense portrayals of those in the thick of the action. Listeners hear the joy of victory and the anguish of losing a brother, literally and figuratively, through Gardner's soulful narration. Both history buffs and reluctant historians will enjoy this audio adventure. A.R.F. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2019]
