Description: Because he knows aircraft, Japanese, and is expendable, an untried Navy pilot is assigned to Marine guerrillas during World War II for vital reconnaissance of an enemy-held Pacific island.
"The time: World War II. The place: a Japanese-held island in the Pacific. The wounded man said to himself: I'd better not die. Not because I'm important, but because what i know is important. No, I'd better not die. I'd better get back... I'd better get back" (from back cover).
