Description:... This is the thrilling saga of the war in the air in the Pacific Theater of Operations during World War II from Pearl Harbor to Nagasaki, as told by the men who created, led, and fought in the deadly Zero fighter plane. They tell what it felt like to bomb American ships and to shoot down American airplanes-and then of their shock when their myth of invincibility was shattered by the new American Lightning, Hellcat, and Corsair fighters. The story continues to the final desperate days of the kamikaze suicide planes. And finally they reveal their reaction to the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
