Description:
Here, one of America’s
most popular military historians re-creates, using their own moving and
powerful voices, the true stories of the U.S. Marine pilots who flew
the Allies to victory in World War II. These riveting accounts recreate
conflicts ranging from the Marines’ gallant defense of Wake Island,
where Captain Henry “Baron” Elrod destroyed two enemy planes before
joining the fight on the ground, earning a posthumous Medal of Honor in
the last-ditch attempt to stave off the Japanese, to the Battle of
Midway and Guadalcanal.

Leaper’s sawing off a Kamikaze’s tail with his propeller over Okinawa, these thrilling oral histories of the Pacific war’s air battles bring them to life in all their terror and triumph
