"I found the book extremely interesting. Why? Because it caught me -- and I could not put it down. It was exciting and took me back to the 1940s where I was privileged to serve in the RCAF. These men were true heroes."
Gord Ferguson, RCAF 1943-1945

"From beginning to end, Amazing Airmen truly chronicles the bravery and sacrifices made by RCAF airmen during the Second World War. 5 stars."
R. Thomson

"There are so many unforgettable stories in Amazing Airmen that it is impossible to tell all of them here. Deftly combining interviews with veterans, archival sources and earlier histories, Darling accomplishes an impressive feat with this work: He humanizes the airmen in a way that the reader can instantly connect with them. Best of all, Darling is a master storyteller who allows the drama to unfold at a riveting pace in each chapter.
"I’ve chosen to spotlight Darling’s book because it shows how one individual with a deep love of history can bring the past to life. By telling the stories of the veterans in such a gripping and poignant way, Darling’s Amazing Airmen keeps the memory of these brave veterans alive."
Andrew Hunt, associate professor of history at the University of Waterloo, in a column printed in the Waterloo Region Record, Nov. 10, 2009
