"Birds of a Feather" is the fascinating autobiography of Brig. Gen. Harold W. Bowman. He served 32 years in the Air Force, beginning as a pilot in the fledgling Army Air Corps. He was commander of the 401st Bomb Group, which flew B-17 bombing missions out of Deenethorpe, England during WWII. What makes the book unique is not only the man himself, but the inside look at the air war in Europe, its leaders, and his involvement in the transition of the Army Air Corps into a separate service--the formation of the United States Air Force--following the war.
