Such Men as These: The Story of the Navy Pilots Who Flew the Deadly Skies Over Korea

David Sears

4.9/5 (19620 ratings)

Description:In 1951, James Michener went to Korea to report on a little known aspect of America’s stalemated war: naval aviators. His research inspired a novel about these pilots and became an overnight bestseller and, perhaps, the most widely-read book ever written about aerial combat. Using Michener’s notes, author David Sears tracked down the pilots to tell their riveting, true-life stories. From the icy windswept decks of aircraft carriers, they penetrated treacherous mountain terrain to strike heavily defended dams, bridges, and tunnels, where well entrenched Communist anti-aircraft gunners waited to shoot them down. Many of these men became air combat legends, and one, Neil Armstrong, the first astronaut to walk on the moon.Such Men As These brims with action-packed accounts of combat and unforgettable portraits of the pilots whose skill and sacrifice made epic history.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
