The Quiet Birdmen
Blood, Sweat & Tears
A Novel by Steven Barton
They were wide-eyed teenagers when they left home in 1942-1943 to learn to fly. By the end of World War II, they were battle-worn fighter pilots who had survived more than a hundred combat missions.
Swirl into the madness of war and the horror of death at 27,000 feet, feel the death-defying thrill of aerial duels fought in the frozen skies over Europe, and be awe-inspired by a secret fraternity of aviators that defies enemy lines and alliances.
In Steve Barton’s The Quiet Birdmen, soar up into the lofty world of a World War II fighter pilot and stumble into one of the best-kept secrets in aviation.
