Story4.5 out of 5 stars 50
From historian and columnist in Leatherneck and Armor magazines, this is the exciting, personal account of a marine fighter squadron in the South Pacific during the critical days of 1943, when the tide turned against the Japanese. Based on individual interviews and wartime documents, this is a thrilling narrative of the marines who lived, and died, during the toughest battles of the entire war.

Informative Book.
Reviewed: 07-21-21
Lots of details. This book covers everything from the formation and training of the squadron, its deployments, missions, daily life at airfields, and time off in Australia. This is accomplished oftentimes with personal accounts. Aerial combat, flying routines, daily life, and accidents are all described in great detail, making it easy for the reader to visualize the action.
The writing is clear snd consice. The narrator does an excellent job. This book is a must-have for anyone interested in the men and machines of fighter squadrons.
