This book is a great read for anyone interested in flying or in learning about WWI. Rickenbacker tells his own story about fighting in the air during WWI in a way to intrigue almost anyone. It makes you feel as though you are in the plane with him, seeing what he saw and feeling what he felt. The "Hat in the Ring" (Rickenbacker's group) squadren shot down more enemy planes than any other U.S. squadran during the war. You will also get a glimps of what the end of the war looked like from the air. I enjoy reading and rereading this book.
