| Summary |
"From the authors of the New York Times bestselling The Heart of Everything That Isand Halsey's Typhoon comes the dramatic, untold story of a daredevil bomber pilot and his misfit crew who fly their lone B-17 into the teeth of the Japanese Empire in 1943, engage in the longest dogfight in history, and change the momentum of the War in the Pacific--but not without making the ultimate sacrifice,"--Baker & Taylor. |
