Armed Forces Radio Broadcasts of Americans

This is a collection of radio broadcasts from armed forces reporters. Some are taped in action as eyewitness accounts. The audio quality is radio broadcast, so far from perfect, yet great for the combat recordings. These are all American air crews. The first half is ETO and second half PTO. If you are a student of WWII, you will enjoy this. Rodger Dodger.

The Nuremberg Trial audio book of the radio broadcasts is really good. The Armed Forces Network may have been the greatest news reporting organization of all time.

Awful, just awful

What would have made WWII Airmen better?

A plot

Has WWII Airmen turned you off from other books in this genre?

No

Any additional comments?

I can't believe they charge money for this. Cheesy performance at best. WWII is over, there is no need to try and sell war bonds in 2012. This may sound like an odd review but that is all this recording was, a poorly made set of news real audio clips to sell war bonds. If Mystry Science Theator 3000 ever branches Into audio books to rip on, this would be a gem.I have been an audible customer for years, this is the only time I feel I was taken, yes, it really is that bad!
