This book is focused on the airplanes and aviators of the U.S. Army Air Force in the South Pacific during World War II. Topics include the Japanese Conquest of the Philippines, the Allied build up for the recapture of the Philippines, and the American airplanes and pilots involved in retaking the Philippines. Of interest and not widely known, Charles Lindbergh flew combat missions in the South Pacific. This illustrated narrative portrays the interactions of American Aces and Commanders. The book also describes the modification of the B-25 and A-20 medium bombers for their role as strafers, skip bombers and delivery of parachute fragmentation bombs.
