David Sears, former naval officer during Vietnam and author of books such as “Pacific Air” and “Such Men as These”, looks at how the development of aviation technology helped the United States emerge victorious in the Pacific with victories over Japan and North Korea. Sears examines the growth of naval aviation, young pilots and technicians, and the sacrifices they made, while also giving action-packed accounts of combat--from the icy, windswept decks of aircraft carriers to the treacherous skies over Japan and Korea.
