Check Six! is the riveting personal story of James C. Curran's adventures flying the P-47 Thunderbolt in combat in the Pacific Theater during World War II; it is the kind of book that makes you proud to be an American... a wonderful, fast-paced read, and I highly recommend it for any World War II aviation enthusiast.
