| Never before was air power such a decisive factor as it was in the Pacific in World War Two. And never before has the world seen air power like that which was granted by the Japanese Zero. The fighter’s quickness and maneuverability made it a dominant force and formidable enemy. But from America came thousands of passionate young men determined and eager to take the speedy Zero out of the sky. Attack & Conquer is the story of one such unit of young men, the 8th Fighter Group, which engaged Japan’s weapons in the sky and attacked its strongholds on the ground. Thoroughly researched and engagingly written, John C. Stanaway and Lawrence J. Hickey’s exhaustive account of this unit features hundreds of photographs and 320 pages of text, including detailed appendices listing unit leadership, aircraft, victories, aces and losses. |
