Facscimile edition of the book originally published in 1946 by Holiday House, Inc. [10], 182, [4] pages, 4 plates, cloth, DJ, very good. From the dust jacket: "Robert A. Winston saw action in some of the most exciting and dangerous naval air combat of World War II, including the Marshalls, Truk, and the Marianas Turkey Shoot. Commanding officer of Fighting Squadron 31, he flew Grumman Hellcats from the USS Cabot as part of Task Force 58. His squadron succeeded in shooting down more enemy aircraft than any other squadron serving on the light carriers then in action. ! Originally published in 1946 and long out of print, this highly personal account of World War II carrier aviation is just as engaging today as when it was written, and on this 50th anniversary of the war in the Pacific, it provides an affectionate tribute to the men and their aircraft.
