The Aviators

Brotherhood of War, Book 8

By: W. E. B. Griffin

Narrated by: Eric G. Dove

It is 1964. The Vietnam War has begun to escalate, its new style of battle demanding new weapons and tactics and men who can use them. Overnight, it seems, the U.S. Army must scramble to create its first-ever Air Assault Division, a force critical to its chances of success, but the obstacles facing it are staggering: untrained men, mysteriously failing aircraft, vicious inter-service rivalries.

As the hostilities increase, the warriors and the women who love them are swept into the struggle, their personal and professional lives twisting and intertwining as they race against time — and the fortunes of war.

Fun Read

Another excellent Griffin military novel. Most of it rings true to this old retired aviator. For the most part the narration was excellent but there were irritating things that detracted - mispronounced place names and military jargon - this is not unimportant because it brings the story to a jarring stop every time it happens. I suggest that all readers take the time to learn the correct pronunciations before recording or at least as he/she encounters an unfamiliar place name or acronym.

A non-military person narrating the book.

There are acronyms that need to get pronounced correctly. For instance, "DCSOPS" is not pronounced letter by letter. It's DCS Opps. Drives me crazy.

Another great one!

I have loved this series immensely, though a few of the books more than others, and this one is one of my favorites. A wonderful main character and story line. I hated for it to end!

Sad to see it end

Great series, I found myself rewiinding for either the actions of the interesting characters or for the creative prose from the author. Craig Lowell is one of the most interesting characters to be created
