The Skull & Crossbones Squadron: Vf-17 in World War II (Schiffer Military/Aviation History)

Rating:
Summary: This is the real stuff carefully & meticulously documented.
Review: This review is not a review. My Jolly Rogers shipmates and I lived it and some of us died in the struggle for the Solomon Islands and the Japanese kingpin at Rabaul.

My good friend Lee Cook from faraway England dedicated himself to this task for the better part of four years, and succeeded admirably.

We were bentwing Corsair fighter pilots. We gave it our best. For a time we were the uttermost tip of the spear of National power. We made a difference.

I hope you read about us.

Lee offered me the privilege of writing the foreword. I accepted as a heartfelt honor.

Very repectfully,

Wm. L. Landreth Commander U. S. Navy (ret.)
