This latest installment in the Indomitable Patriot series takes the reader into the realm of WWII Naval and Marine aviation in the Pacific theater, in the 1944-45 era. Revel in the stateside development of procedures, extending our kill ratio from 2:1 to 15:1. What is the contribution real-life character John Boyd makes and how will it influence dogfights against the enemy? Tighten your belts during the air-to-air combat over Truk Atoll, the Battle of the Philippine Sea and Okinawa. What happens when Pack, seeking a hot date, meets timid and demure Julie Packard? The OSS plays an important part in the story with their actual contributions to the war effort and support of the bombing of Japan. The Pacific theater consisted of more than fighter planes.
