Their hearts were strong, and their courage endless.

Pearl Harbor survivor, Black Cat radioman, and decorated WW 2 veteran. ARM H. P. Lawrence, tells the true story of the fight against the Japanese in this compilation of his memoirs.

One of only a handful of non-Native American code-talkers, H. P. Lawrence became a member of an elite fighting force, the Black Cats. Flying in their nocturnal missions, the Cats claws were sharp and their aim deadly.

From devastation to victory, the story of these brave men−the deadly, mysterious, and illusive Black Cats is a journey into the past where nightmares came true and hatred reigned. A time in history we should never, ever forget.

The day which will live in infamy…was just the beginning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Radioman recounts the excitement and perils of flying during World War II.

My husband has read this book twice. He has thoroughly enjoyed the narrative and has even related it to his father in law's experiences during the World War II. It is even possible that the two men knew each other.
The book some great experiences that many younger people might never have known about.

Well told. You felt like you were right there with him. You don't need to be a veteran to understand how he felt. Well done.

3.0 out of 5 stars A fast, easy read
Reviewed in the United States on 26 April 2017

This book was a narrative as told to the author regarding one man’s service in the Pacific during World War Two. The narrator was a radioman on a PBY Catalina flying boat in the war.

Some of the things I thought were quite interesting were the descriptions of the aircraft and how they were used in the war. These flying boats could carry two thousand pounds of bombs and had half a dozen machine guns of various types attached to them. While they were a lacking in elegance in comparison to other period aircraft, they certainly could attack shipping quite successfully.

Another interesting aspect of the book was the personal description of the attack on Pearl Harbor. There were some details mentioned here that I was not completely aware of. It was also hard to imagine such a young man being present at such a major and tragic event.

This book is told very much in the style of a fireside chat. It lacks some details in places where it would have been nice to know more. However, if you see it as an old man telling a story it is quite fascinating in places. When a book is this good it is hard not to want more.
