The Pineapple Air Force

{detailed description}Finally, the incredible, untold story of the Central Pacific Air War in the words and images of the men who lived it - the boredom, humor and terror of the Island Campaign
The only authentic, definitive record of the air battle over Oahu on December 7, 1941. Fourteen Army Air Force pilots against the Japanese strike force and the command failures that doomed the air defense system.
Missions over the Empire - P-47s and P-51s scour the Home Islands at low level as the Japanese air forces go into hiding. The enemy war machine is dying, all but the AA gunners who extract a deadly toll of American fighters.

It's all in this volume: 220 pages, 237 photos (most from private collections), gun camera clips, aircraft profiles, maps, losses, kills and other lush appendices - the Pineapple Air Force's triumph over tragedy. A history, painstakingly assembled, by award winning author, John W Lambert.
