This book is not a rehash of oft told stories € ” instead Camp brings to life extraordinary accomplishments (emphasizing U.S. Marine Corps personnel) with verve and the understanding of a man who is familiar with what the work was like these otherwise forgotten heroes accomplished in the successful prosecution in many theaters of World War II." - Travel for Aircraft (Seattle Post-Intelligencer Blog)
