| Publisher Description: The classic "New York Times" bestselling story of heroism and sacrifice by the author of "Flags of Our Fathers," " The Imperial Cruise," and "The China Mirage." This acclaimed bestseller brilliantly illuminates a hidden piece of World War II history as it tells the harrowing true story of nine American airmen shot down in the Pacific. One of them, George H. W. Bush, was miraculously rescued. What happened to the other eight remained a secret for almost sixty years. After the war, the American and Japanese governments conspired to cover up the shocking truth, and not even the families of the airmen were informed of what happened to their sons. Their fate remained a mystery until now. "Flyboys" is a tale of courage and daring, of war and death, of men and hope. It will make you proud, and it will break your heart." |
