Flyboys: A True Story of Courage

For Christmas, I got this as a book on tape, but I enjoyed the first chapters so much that I went out and bought the book. James Bradley's writing is elegant and well researched. I enjoyed learning about the Doolittle Raid, Tokyo Fire Raid and hearing about President George H.W. Bush and his time as a flyboy.
I would have liked to hear more details on the daily life of different fliers and more about some of the boys that survived. The book was very focused on the war crimes committed on Chichi Jima. It is a very important part of history, but I found the title misleading.

I found this book to be uneven in the writing, with the author bouncing around too much. Definitely not as good as his book on the flag raising on Iwo Jima.

Just curious as to what was misleading about the title?
