Pappy Boyington was an enigma! I laughed and I cried several times when reading this incredible story. Thank you, Bruce Gamble for writing this. You put me right into the action with your vivid descriptions.

The book was not what I anticipated. I mer Colonel Boyington when I was a kid, at an air show. I thought the book would be flattering, it is not. It exposes more of who Boyington was as a result of alcoholism, womanizing and an unstable childhood. While it notes his brilliance as a pilot, it questions the veracity of his accomplishments.  It's a good read and seems well researched.

    An Alcoholic's Trials
  

*by P***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2017*

Excellent read.  Ever since I was a kid I've been fascinated by the Vought F4U Corsair, the iconic WW II airplane associated with Boyington.  I watched the TV series starring Robert Conrad(I really liked him in "The Wild Wild West" series), so I've followed Boyington's career over the years.  This is a warts and all biography and there are a lot of warts, particularly his alcoholism, back in a time when it was not recognized as a disease, and his hugely dysfunctional family.  That he functioned at all with this background is a testament to his character but, my god, the damage suffered and inflicted!  Reads a little like Malcom Lowry's "Under the Volcano" or Nicholas Cage in "Leaving Las Vegas".  The author details what a bunch of screw-ups the AVG personnel fundamentally were,  Boyington's post-war career, when he went from a pinnacle of fame to rock bottom(multiple times), and his complicated relationships with both family and friends.  An interesting series of snapshots from a time and place that no longer exists.  Well worth reading!
