by Frank A. MasonPublish: Jul 03, 2026 Historical FictionBook Overview
The Flying Tigers may be finished. The fight is not.China, 1942.
Former Marine fighter pilot Tuffy Kowalski has become one of the famed Flying Tigers, the American Volunteer Group who battle overwhelming Japanese air power with worn aircraft, limited supplies, and sheer determination. Flying from rough airfields carved from jungles and river valleys, Tuffy and his comrades wage a brutal air war against an enemy that seems to possess endless airplanes and pilots.
The odds are impossible, but the Tigers fight anyway.
From desperate dogfights over Burma and western China to dangerous attacks against advancing Japanese forces, Tuffy learns that survival often depends as much upon courage and luck as flying skill.
Then the Flying Tigers cease to exist.
Separated from the Flying Tigers, men who became his family, Tuffy begins a long journey home. But while America welcomes back its heroes, the Pacific War continues to rage. The woman he loves waits in Annapolis. The Marine Corps offers a chance to reclaim the career he left behind. And far across the ocean, Marines are fighting and dying for a remote jungle island called Guadalcanal.
When Tuffy returns to combat, he finds a different kind of war.
Wildcat fighters patched together by exhausted mechanics. Primitive airstrips hacked from the jungle. Veteran Japanese pilots determined to destroy Henderson Field and take back Guadalcanal.
