Sobre este item
New York, NY: Carroll & Graf, 2004 Carroll & Graf, New York. 2004. Softcover/Trade Wraps. Stated First Edition. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: VG+; slight wear to edge at head and tail; indentation on front wrap, light tip bump on front wrap. Pictorial Wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased. 356 pp. A breathtaking account of the nose to tail air war between American and Japanese flyers above the Bering Sea. Dubbed riders of the "Empire Express" American pilots stationed in the Aleutians flew nine-hour missions in sub-zero temperatures to bomb Japanese installations in the Kuril Islands. Based on crash investigations, the author re-creates the crew's daunting exploits, that of US Navy pilot Walt S. Whitman, and the missions of Japan's pilots and the fate of those captured and interned in Siberia. A moving portrait of servicemen in the forgotten frozen battleground of WWII. A clean and very presentable copy.
