I've been interested in WWII in the Pacific since my Dad was in Papua New Guinea, The Philippines, and island hopping in Japan. This collection of stories helped me understand why this was our "Greatest Generation." Dad seldom talked about what he went through, but I know his squadron flew guard over the surrender of the Japanese -- he's somewhere overhead in the photo in this book. Compared to the men who suffered through the Bataan surrender, he had it pretty easy. Most of the men featured in these stories struggled mightily just to survive and, of course, some of them didn't, but they were Dad's comrades in arms, willing to do whatever was required, and I'm proud of all of them.

This started a little slow to me, I was thinking more of a story type book,,, then it dawned on me that I was reading memories and conversation. The more I read the more I got engrossed.... I will be buying more of the series....
