Title: A gripping first person account of those desperate times
Review: Boyington was definitely not your Tom Cruz type of pilot, he was an unorthodox risk taking, erm, a Black Sheep, which goes a long way to describe his style. In a time when so many people played it by the book, he took men destined for hard jail time and turned them into one of the most feared squadrons of the South Pacific.The book is a description of the days with his squadron, as recounted by him so expect this not a dry and exacting account written by someone in USMC public relations.This is among my favorite books of all time, and a recomended read for anyone interested in aviation, WWII, or just a great (and true) action story.
