This is undoubtedly the most accurate, well documented, thrilling account of the early days of the air war in the South Pacific. From Pearl Harbor thru one year later, it accurately accounts for the remnants of the 19th Bomb Group after General Douglas' Pearl Harbor, the capitulation of the Phillipines, and the subsequent 435th Kangaroo Squadron, through their daily struggles to survive and lay the groundwork to conquer and victory. It shows the amazing durability, survivability and utility of the Boeing B-17 C,D,& E. It was the forerunner of the Boeing B-52 and KC-135, two of the three oldest surviving weapons sytems in the Department of Defence inventory. The distinguished leaders of this group set the stage for air crews to follow.
