His research inspired novel about these pilots became an overnight bestseller and, perhaps, the most widely read book ever written about aerial combat. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Using Michener's notes, author David Sears tracked down the actual pilots to tell their riveting, true-life stories.
