Marine Joe Foss joined Guadalcanals Cactus Air Force and destroyed a Japanese Zero on his first missionthe first of twenty-six aerial kills achieved during the war. Navy captain David McCampbell didnt notch his first kill until June 1944, but he would quickly go on to assemble one of the most remarkable aerial-combat records in history with thirty-four victories, including nine in one day. In this gripping oral historywhich spans the entire war from the Americans who fought the Japanese in China to the final, desperate battle for Okinawa, these three heroes tell their own stories, in their own words. These interviews, personally conducted by military veteran and historian Colin Heaton, are the final testimony of some of Americas greatest warriors.
