| Summary |
"In 1945, four emaciated American airmen were released from a Japanese prison in Peking, China. Their release made immediate headlines around the world and their poignant story answered a riddle that had mystified the Air Force since their disappearance forty months before. These men were the surviving members of two B-25 crews that had followed the famous Jimmy Doolittle on his epic raid to Japan."--P. ix. |
