Summary:

The cover advertises this book as "An epic story of heroism, friendship and sacrifice. It is and so much more. Makos has written a very compelling story of people at their best in the worst of trials. You will find great naval carrier flying action and riveting ground action in the Korean War and an event of heart wrenching and heart rendering and heart warming sacrifice that brings a bond to all brothers in arms and those who love and survive to share their stories. Politics, racism, and friendship are covered and conquered. Definitely will change your ideas about this little "police action" and leave you with a desire to reach out to those who still walk among us who were there. Having a father in this war on board a similar carrier made his story more intriguing to me and we spent time this last Christmas talking through the book and his service-very moving and very touching, need to do a few Corsairs and CV-120 now. . . Photos and a good bibliography make it a helpful reference book as well.
