  I enjoyed Into the Skies as a story about World War I and the early start of aviation. What was particularly enjoyable was how the story is told from the perspective of a simple, Midwestern American. His values and particular take on events provide a straightforward narration very much along the lines of Mark Twain. The entertainment value is, however, definitely the mix of adventures that he finds himself muddling through. From comedic romantic encounters to daring exploits flying his plane, I was not disappointed by the story. Even knowing that eventually France, Britain, and the U.S. would win didn't diminish from the excitement, and the narration definitely gives you a sense of the uncertainty that those countries faced.
  
  Although a particular treat for historical buffs, there are many facets to this book that would delight readers of many genres.
