Aces Against Japan
The American Aces Speak - How U.S. Fighter Pilots won the Pacific Skies
Hammel, Eric
From the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, to the last dogfight over Kyushu on July 2, 1945, America's fighter aces blasted their way across the skies of the Pacific and East Asia - hurling their Warhawks and Wildcats, Lightnings and Thunderbolts, Mustangs and Corsairs-against the best enemy ever sent aloft. Now, in their own words, forty American eagles vividly recreate the terror, exhilaration, and ultimate triumph of their crusade for airborne supremacy.
Stalk the air with Ist Lt. Jack Jones in bis P-400, as he employs his bird-hunter instinct in the pursuit and destruction of the deadly mctallic vultures of the enemy. Race with Ist Lt. Jini Swett as his F4F scores an unprecedented seven kills and earns him the Medal of Honor. Ride with Ensign Wendell Twelves on bis first engagement in his Hellcat as he rescues stranded American airmen from the Pacific below - and marauding Zeros above.
