Jet Race and the Second World War
With its bits and pieces of information of which I was not aware of, this book was worth reading. (E.g. I haven't read much - if anything - about German torpedo bomber attacks on the invasion fleet, a subject to pursue?)
One thing though; As my mother tongue is not English I found the 'flow of words' in the book a bit . . messy may be too strong a word. However, I sometimes found myself reading sentences and passages without getting the full meaning of them. And thus had to back and read them again.
But then again, that's the challenge and the fun in reading in other languages . . . .
