I read it as well.

My brother currently is reading it. I thought it was a very good assessment.

Interesting to read about the young B 29 crew that came in and did a reconnaissance over Japan, even when LeMay encouraged them to get sleep. They ended up with the best photographs of the war, which were used repeatedly through the end of the war.

Funny, that stuck out in my head, too. Can you imagine how dog tired they must have been after their last flight, then to insist they wanted to turn around and go back out?

Just amazing...
