520 2  "This little-known WWII story introduces a renegade pilot 
       whose personal mission to rescue his family from a POW 
       camp changed modern air warfare forever. December 1941: 
       Manila is invaded, and US citizen and Philippine Airlines 
       manager, Pappy Gunn, is ordered to fly key military 
       command out of the country, leaving his family at home. So
       Gunn was miles away when the Japanese captured his wife 
       and children, placing them in an internment camp where 
       they faced disease, abuse, and starvation. Gunn spent 
       three years trying to rescue them. His exploits became 
       legend as he revolutionized the art of air warfare, 
       devising his own weaponry, missions, and combat 
       strategies. By the end of the war, Pappy's ingenuity and 
       flair for innovation helped transform MacArthur's air 
       force into the scourge of the Pacific"--|cProvided by
