Publisher's summary

Four Americans - a 20-year-old social outcast, a breezily iconoclastic Army officer, a ruthless U.S. senator, and a guilt-ridden heiress - are inexorably drawn together in their struggles to deal with America's chaotic involvement in World War I.

Their interwoven destinies lead from poverty-stricken slums through the opulence of 1917 - 1918 Washington, London, and Paris and, climactically, into the Western Front's vicious aerial combat, which establishes the matrix for all air warfare to come.

Great read

Not as solid as Blue Max but a fun read nonetheless. Decent story, likable characters if a bit cartoonish at times, with instances of beautify poetic descriptions. Some of the scenes were a bit hard to believe and the ending was somewhat disappointing but overall fun.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
