I Was Just a Radioman

By Pamela Ackerson

Book Overview

Their hearts were strong, and their courage endless.

In the darkest hours of World War II, when the Pacific burned and hope hung by a thread, a group of men stepped forward into legend. Meet ARM H. P. Lawrence: Pearl Harbor survivor, Black Cat radioman, and decorated veteran. Now, for the first time, this Black Cat warrior has broken his silence with a gripping, no-holds-barred memoir that pulls you into the lives of the most feared squadron America ever unleashed-the Black Cats.

These weren't ordinary missions. The Black Cats became ghosts in the machine: stalking Japanese ships through treacherous seas, dropping bombs with precision, rescuing downed airmen while dodging storms of anti-aircraft fire. The nocturnal attacks struck without warning and vanished into the dark, leaving enemy convoys in flames.

General Douglas MacArthur didn't mince words: "No command in war has excelled the brilliance of their operations." From the shocking chaos of Pearl Harbor's burning waters, midnight raids that turned the tide against Japan, to moments of raw terror and unbreakable brotherhood 1000 feet above the black ocean, Lawrence tells it all with the unflinching honesty only a man who lived it can deliver.

This isn't just another war book. This is the untold story of the squadron that prowled the night like panthers, claws out, eyes glowing in the dark-the elite few who made the Japanese dread the darkness itself. The Black Cats' chapter of history is raw, haunting, and heroic beyond words.

And it's here for you, straight from a Black Cat radioman who heard their wings in the night. Don't let their story fade into silence. Grab your copy right now-before the last light of those midnight warriors goes out forever.
