Özet

Operation Tidal Wave tells the story of the bloodiest air battle in the history of war. It is about 1,700 airmen who set out to bomb the oil refineries surrounding the city of Ploesti, Romania, on August 1, 1943. Success, they thought, would be a force in ending the war. Success, instead, was extremely limited, and 500 airmen were killed, wounded, captured, or interned. Negligible damage resulted at the Ploesti refineries, and a few months later, they were operating at 100 percent capacity. To show the asperity of the raid, five Congressional Medals of Honor were awarded, two posthumously.

Please, please,please re-record this book with a better narrator.

The story needs telling but by someone who knows how to pronounce the German names, words and ranks; it’s Luftwaffe not ‘Luftwoff’ among many other things.

Even struggling with American names is really bad, at least make an effort to learn them before you record and the weird pauses in mid sentence really grate on you after a while.

I really tried but by chapter 8 I’d had enough.

Awful narration
