Daniel L. Haulman

Focuses on the U.S. Army Air Forces' tactical operations in Asia and the Pacific areas during World War II. Examines the context of Allied strategy, American air and naval operations, and ground campaigns. Subjects include: the "flying tigers" and airlift save China, Burma and China conflicts, Iwo Jima and Okinawa, the Philippines, Rabaul, land-based air power vs. Japanese shipping, the invasion of Borneo, and more. Maps of battles and attacks.

Short and sweet, this small book appears well researched and goes a long way to dispel many of the myths surrounding these airmen. Too many people take hearsay and hollywood at face value. Rather than lessen the role these men played in ww2 and equal rights, it widens their scope of achievement and places it in an actual context. I would recommend to anyone interested in black history, ww2 or military aviation.
