Loading... I Could Never Be So Lucky Again (1991)by James H. "Jimmy" Doolittle
None. Good book about a very interesting life. Jimmy Doolittle lived long and prospered. ( )This is one of the best autobiographies I have ever read. Wonderful story of a wonderful man who lived in a time of great adventure and opportunity. It's a pleasure to read how his accomplishments were rewarded on his rise to greatness. An excellent account of one of the pioneers of aviation. This book will be of interest to those who are primarily interested in the history of aviation -- not just WWII. This si a very interesting autobiography, written when Doolittle was over 90, so it effectually covers his whole life. He had a very full life and the accounts of his time as a daredevil avviator in the 1920's and of the Tokyo raid in 1942 and of his time in Euopre in World War II are well-told and of hjgh interest. His account of his time after the war is of less interest and seems to be less modest than his account of the great things he did in the War. And then telling how he campaigned for Goldwater in 1964 dropped a half-point off the rating I was going to give him. no reviews | add a review
