Rezensionen

America's Few describes Marine Corps aviation's few: the two dozen 'double digit' aces who gained hard-won air superiority in the first year of the Pacific War, many of whom contributed en route to VJ Day. Bill Yenne not only describes their combat careers but the youthful backgrounds that shaped who they were beyond what they did.
