Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewRenner's book is both interesting to read, and holds lessons applicable to the present. If you are looking for something different which is aviation-related, "Broken Wings," is a good choice.
* Daily News *
Renner manages to bring the story of Hungary's early twentieth-century air force to a wider audience, simultaneously widening our understanding of twentieth-century aviation and providing a model for future researchers. This accomplishment is remarkable given the wartime destruction of both world wars' operational records of the Hungarian Air Forces.
-- Richard Byers * H-War *
"This book is a notable achievement. Renner brings to light the story of a small but determined military aviation force, operating under extreme limitations, which tried to do its duty in turbulent times."
* Cambridge Core *
The book deserves the highest praise for bringing a hitherto understudied aspect of aviation and Hungarian history to English language readers.
