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. It looks at the war through the eyes of some of the greatest fighter pilots of all time, including Bob Hanson, the “Maharajah of Rabaul”, and highest scoring Corsair pilot in history.

The way the individual accounts were pieced together was masterfully done. There were such intimate details of the mens’ lives along with such personal anecdotes from their time at war, it’s almost like hearing about the war from a long time friend amplified by much greater historical context and accuracy. Well written story, much better than reading from a textbook. Clearly a lot of research and time went into this.
