520    The author of the bestselling Darwin Spitfires casts a 
       forensic eye over the role that Allied air forces played 
       —or failed to play—in crucial World War II campaigns in 
       New Guinea. This is the story of the early battles of the 
       southwest Pacific theatre—the Coral Sea, Kokoda, Milne Bay
       , Guadalcanal—presented as a single air campaign that 
       began with the Japanese conquest of Rabaul in January 
       1942. It is a story of both Australian and American airmen
       who flew and fought in the face of adversity—with 
       incomplete training, inadequate aircraft, and from poorly 
       set up and exposed airfields. And they persisted despite 
       extreme exhaustion, sickness, poor morale, and the near 
       certainty of being murdered by their Japanese captors if 
       they went down in enemy territory.
