Each volume has an "About Your Adventure" introduction, followed by a chapter that orients readers in the time period. Students are given three initial story paths, which lead to numerous choices and many different endings, all set in important or notable battles. The primary characters include Allied fighters (one a Tuskegee Airman) and Germans, but no Japanese fighters. Readers will quickly see that even seemingly simple choices have life or death consequences. The mostly black-and-white period photos add realism, while maps, time lines, and captions add additional facts. Though these engaging texts are not replacements for traditional nonfiction, they will help readers understand the horrors and dangers of battle. a(c) Copyright 2011.

I loved the different routes that you could choose and the final outcomes were very realistic. Excellent photographs.-- "NetGalley Review"Having three initial choices is great because there are so many adventures you can try and you can read this book over and over again. Plus, aside from the history lessons at the start and at the end of the book, you learn a lot of stuff, particularly about the different types of planes. . . .READ IT IF: Your child wants to become a pilot. You want to teach your child about World War 2. Your child likes choose-your-own-adventure books.-- "Second Bookshelf on the Right blog"I actually enjoyed going back and forth and making choices to see where each path led. I also liked the photographs that are included and relevant to the path I was following. . . .World War II Pilots is an excellent book for leisure reading as well as home schooling and classroom use.-- "The Children's War blog"Interesting book. Recommended for my library.-- "NetGalley Review"My students, especially the boys, enjoy the You Choose series. I have seven titles now. I guess I'll be adding number eight. I particularly appreciated the point of view from the Tuskegee Airmen. . . .It's on my to-be-ordered list.-- "NetGalley Review"The twenty different endings make sure this is a book many will be read again and again. The page design and photographs and maps chosen add to the feel of being there. The very extensive tools make further learning easy and inviting.-- "Childish Nonsense blog"There are always bo.
