À propos de cet audio

 In one of his beloved early bestsellers, Pulitzer Prize–winning author James A. Michener crafts a tale of the American men who fought the Korean War, detailing their exploits in the air as well as their lives on the ground. Young and innocent, they arrive in a place they have barely ever heard of, on a ship massive enough to carry planes and helicopters. Trained as professionals, they prepare for the rituals of war that countless men before them have endured, and face the same fears. They are American fighter pilots. Together they face an enemy they do not understand, knowing their only hope for survival is to win.

The story is a great one, reminding me a lot of the (later) Flight of the Intruders. However, it is quite a short book, and thus a short listen for how much it costs.

The performer is fairly decent, but the audio quality is poorer than some free audiobooks due to it being pulled from a 90s tape (no lie).

Decent story, poor performance.
