Praise for When Tigers Ruled the Sky
“A well-told story at all levels—military, personal, and
political—of probably the least known of the WWII theaters, of a
group of American flyers who it would be a slight to refer to as
anything less than heroes, and of an inspirational leader named
Claire Chennault.”—Spectator.org
Praise for Big Week
“Well-written and fast-paced, this will be compelling to
specialists and general readers alike.”—Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Aces High
“This is the greatest flying story of all time.…If there was ever
an aviation tale that had all the elements of an old school
Hollywood blockbuster, Bill Yenne’s Aces High is it.”—Dan Roam,
author of The Back of the Napkin: Solving Problems and Selling
