Outstanding historical novel early WWII in the South Pacific
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
An outstanding historical novel about Marine & Naval aviation early in WWII in South Pacific. One of the finest written on the subject. This book will one day be republished by U.S.Naval Institute Press as a Classic of Naval Literature. The characters are powerful; the story true throughout; the principal action scenes as exciting as one can find; the central thoughts are transcendental -- they are stunning. Warmest congratulations to the Mr. Thoreson on a great work.
Excellent book! Fantastic visuals and scenery. Well done!

I have flown commercial all my life but always wondered what it would be like in combat. It is difficult to expose the emotion of life and death experiences in the air. If I could rate the emotion here it would be a 12 on a scale of 10. Yes,I am biased and he is HEAVY but he IS my brother. Read it and enjoy.
