    About this audiobook

    Embittered by past failures and broken dreams, American fighter pilot David Duane believes in but one cause—his own. Europe is at war, and he'll fight it for a price, selling his deadly flying skills to the highest bidder.

    Duane has come to the icy white wastes of Scandinavia to wage a private war in the skies. But he's about to take off on a flight and undertake an unforgettable journey—On Blazing Wings—to a place beyond the imagination ... leading to a revelation that will open his eyes and his heart.

    In a world divided by war, Duane discovers that sometimes you have to make a choice, and that making the wrong one could cost him the woman he loves.

    L. Ron Hubbard

    With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most enduring and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and '40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard. Then too, of course, there is all L. Ron Hubbard represents as the Founder of Dianetics and Scientology and thus the only major religion born in the 20th century.

      “Devotion,” a new movie about U.S. naval pilots, has a well-timed release. It’s primed to ride on the coattails – or chemtrails – of “Top Gun: Maverick.”  Both films share facile similarities: bombing missions in foreign countries, aerial dog fights

      It was a great time to read this author's books and knowing that the war was coming to America soon. The author has penned many books, some very long, but this is my favorite!
    • 5/5
      The incomparable L. Ron Hubbard's pulp fiction is being reprinted by Galaxy Press with a new release each month through 2014. Hubbard's talent is evident on every page of On Blazing Wings, an air adventure story originally published in the May, 1940 issue of Five-Novels Monthly. On Blazing Wings struck a chord with me, perhaps because it's a combination of fantasy and air adventure. Airman David Duane's story is not one you'll likely forget. On Blazing Wings is far more somber than any of the other air adventure stories Hubbard wrote, and its fair to say it's a love story thinly disguised as an adventure tale. But the romantic element isn't pronounced because LRH is more concerned with how David Duane arrives at a fateful decision in his life. The conclusion, which I won't reveal, is evident from the preface, but the tale is so well told that it was impossible for me to put the book down even though I had a fair idea what would happen. Of course, the ending still has some surprises and throughout the story you'll be treated to some hardboiled descriptions: "The long rows of tanks looked like otherworld beetles, and the shadowy planes, in their white covers, were like hooded vultures (p. 51)." On Blazing Wings exemplifies LRH's mastery of genre writing and discovering books like this is why I read the pulps.
