THE FINAL HOURS
Series Editors
Walter J. Boyne and Peter B. Mersky
Aviation Classics are inspired nonfiction and fictional accounts that
reveal the human drama of flight. The series covers every era of mili-
tary and civil aviation, is international in scope, and encompasses
flying in all of its diversity. Some of the books are well-known best-
sellers and others are superb, but unheralded, titles that deserve a
wider audience.
