The Last Zero Fighter Book Description
Weaves first-hand accounts from Japanese WWII Naval Pilots into a compelling account of the Pacific War. Assembled from one-on-one interviews conducted with five surviving vets, and supplemented by visits to Pacific battle sites, Dan King couples an encyclopedic knowledge of the Pacific War with expertise of Japanese Naval pilots. The vets not only tell of hard victories and close defeats, but also hometowns and families. The stories show the humanity of the combatants often obscured by war propaganda.
