His research inspired novel about these pilots became an overnight bestseller and, perhaps, the most widely read book ever written about aerial combat. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Using Michener's notes, author David Sears tracked down the actual pilots to tell their riveting, true-life stories. From the icy, windswept decks of aircraft carriers, they penetrated treacherous mountain terrain to strike heavily defended dams, bridges, and tunnels, where well entrenched Communist anti-aircraft gunners waited to shoot them down. Many of these men became air combat legends, and one, Neil Armstrong, the first astronaut to walk on the moon. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSuch Men As These\u003c\/i\u003e brims with action-packed accounts of combat and unforgettable portraits of the pilots whose skill and sacrifice made epic history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Sears\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0306820102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780306820106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Da Capo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.30d","brand":"David Sears","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996724166911,"sku":"9780306820106","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6949f514-07ec-4158-b738-869dcc25f7df.jpg?v=1683343325","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/such-men-as-these-david-sears-9780306820106","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
