| Description |
| This first volume of the acclaimed Eagles Over the Pacific series has become the standard by which aviation literature is judged. Exhaustively researched and engagingly written, Warpath Across the Pacific follows the 345th Bomb Group, the famous “Air Apaches,” over the jungles of the Southwest Pacific through the eyes of the men who fought. With 448 pages of text, appendices detailing crews, casualties and aircraft, and nearly 700 photographs, including a 32-page color section with 48 full-color plane profiles and five paintings by top aviation artist Jack Fellows, Warpath is a must-have for any aviation or military history enthusiast. |

| "...one of the most exhaustively researched, brilliantly illustrated and trenchantly told accounts we have ever read...Warpath Across the Pacific is as near to an epic as most of us will ever come.
