Apply full throttle, release the brakes, and roar off the carrier deck strapped behind the controls of the U.S. Navy's finest fighters of World War II. Take to the war-torn skies over the Pacific in the cockpits of Grumman Wildcats and Hellcats, F4U Corsairs, and Bearcats and Tigercats. Rare original color photographs and a historically exacting text depict these legendary aircraft and their squadrons as they attempt to impede the encroaching Japanese Imperial Navy. Included are a naval air battle history and a listing of today's surviving warbirds.
