A Look Inside the Folio Society’s New Edition of “Masters of the Air”

Masters of the Air

When Donald L. Miller’s Masters of the Air: How the Bomber Boys Broke Down the Nazi War Machine was first published, it was to plenty of critical acclaim. Writing in the New York Times, William Grimes noted that “Mr. Miller has a fluid way of moving from discussion of theory and tactics to the personal stories that give them human weight.”

Now, the Folio Society has released a deluxe edition of the book, including new introductions by Tom Hanks and Kirk Saduski and a host of historical images from the archives. Read on for a look at some what readers will find inside.
