description
om the Pacific War--all recipients of the Medal of Honor--tell their own stories in this remarkable collection.

Marine ace Pappy Boyington is perhaps the most celebrated of all American pilots in the war against Japan, fighting in the skies with both the famed Flying Tigers and his own Black Sheep Squadron. Marine Joe Foss joined Guadalcanal's Cactus Air Force and destroyed a Japanese Zero on his first mission--the first of twenty-six aerial kills achieved during the war. Navy captain David McCampbell didn't notch his first kill until June 1944, but he would quickly go on to assemble one of the most remarkable aerial-combat records in history with thirty-four victories, including nine in one day. In this gripping oral history--which spans the entire war-- from the Americans who fought the Japanese in China to the final, desperate battle for Okinawa, these three heroes tell their own stories, in their own words. These interviews, personally conducted by military veteran and historian Colin Heaton, are the final testimony of some of America's greatest warriors.
