Publisher's Synopsis
From bailouts to belly landings, flaming cockpits to lurching carrier decks, here are the heroic tales of pilots from all backgrounds, united by a desire to fight their country's enemy to the finish. Drawn from a small corner of Tennessee, these men flew in all theatres of combat, in every front-line fighter aircraft. They soared to victory in the air - and fled from capture on the ground. This is a memorable anthology of combat tales with great appeal both for veterans and historians.
