[Larry Graves · Rating 3 out of 5]

I wasn't a big fan of the personal accounts of the pilots throughout the book.

A look at America's aerial support for Nationalist China in her struggle with the forces of Imperial Japan, from the first clash at the Marco Polo bridge, to the intervention of the American Volunteer Group, the Flying Tigers, under General Claire Lee Chennault, to the final victory and the surrender ceremony on the battleship U.S.S. Missouri, at which MacArthur looked around to ask, "Where's Chennault?" (who had been excluded from the ceremony).
