If you want to learn just what one of our other enemies was like before and during WW II, pick up a copy of "Flyboys," by James Bradley, Little, Brown and Co., � 2003.
Bradley, by the way, is the son of one of the men who raised the flag on Mt. Suribachi, Iwo Jima.
If you have a weak stomach, you'd better not read this one.
