Mass market paperback. Zustand: Good. First Bal-Hi Printing [stated]. 158, [2] pages. Stamp on top of the first page indication that this is from the library of John F. Lyman, noted naval historian and technical authority. In the firsthand story of a young American pilot who flew with the famous Torpedo Squadron Eight from the deck of the carrier USS Hornet (CV-8) in some of the great battles of the Pacific in World War II. This is how it was to fly and fight with the U. S. Navy's elite attack group, to strike at Japanese ships and planes in pitch battles, and to find your way back across hundreds of miles of open sea to the deck of your own carrier. Lieutenant Mears wrote this book immediately after the events he describes, and it remains the best book by any Navy pilot about the carrier war. Commissioned in October 1941, just two months before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor (December 1941) the Hornet had a short but legendary career. In April of 1942 she delivered sixteen B-25 bombers, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel James H. Doolittle, for the first air strike on Japan. In May of 1942, Hornet took part in the Battle of the Coral Sea. One month later the carrier was in the Battle for Midway. Her luck ran out in Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands on October 26, 1942. Hornet was attacked by a Japanese planes who dropped three bombs on the carrier; she was the last American fleet carrier to be lost in action. On June 28, 1943, shortly after Lieutenant Mears had completed this book, his publishers were informed that he had been killed in the line of duty. Word was also received at that time that Lieutenant Frederick Mears had been posthumously awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, which had been issued to him prior to his death but which had not been received by him before he died. From a review posted on-line: This book is a treasure that anyone wishing to know about carrier warfare in the Pacific during WW2 must have. The author was an actual pilot and member of the well-known Torpedo Squadron 8 from the Carrier Hornet. The fact that he was a relatively green, unknown pilot to Commander Waldron, the leader of that ill-fated group, undoubtedly saved his life at the Battle of Midway. Waldron would not allow him to make the first attack with the squadron. Anyone familiar with the battle knows that the first attack was also the last attack made by Waldron's group. His insight into Waldron and the other members of Torpedo 8 as well as his personal views on life aboard an aircraft carrier at war makes for stirring, emotional reading. Unfortunately for the author, Lt. Frederick Mears, he survived Midway only to lose his life in the fighting around Guadalcanal. May their memories never be forgotten.
