Attack a locomotive at night in northwest Korea's Mig Alley. Read the short biographies of some of the men who lived and died in that long forgotten war. Read about those dedicated professionals who worked 16 to 18 hours a day to keep the airplanes flying. Be a guest of the mayor of Hiroshima six short years after the United States destroyed that city. And, most importantly, find out what it was like to be a member of an elite night intruder squadron who maintained the lonely vigil of overflying North Korea's lines of communication leading to the battle line." - from dust jacket.
