Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From the book: Thach used his slight height advantage to roll into a beam run on the Nakajima's right side. He powered the F4F in low and steady, allowing himself the best chance of striking the target. Breath held, he anticipated the aircraft crossing in front of his plane's nose and prepared the deflection shot. His finger squeezed the trigger a fraction of a second before his prey zipped past. Flickering streams of .50-caliber tracers arced gracefully through the air, curving into the target streaking by. Staccato ropes of steel-jacketed lead ripped into the Nakajima's uncovered fuselage, blowing large pieces free. The enemy plane rolled over slightly as the slugs chewed into it, exposing its far side to damage. The F4F vibrated and slowed with the kickback from the hammering Brownings. Thach continued raking the enemy plane until it cleared his field of fire. Completing his pass, Thach turned back to look. The Nakajima's left wing blazed, the intense heat and flame melting away the outer covering and exposing the frame. The enemy plane wobbled and dipped and then straightened out. He watched in frustrated admiration as the enemy pilot struggled to complete his run and succeeded in releasing his torpedo. Thach cursed, thinking, what do I have to do to stop this guy Flame his aircraft, destroy a wing, and he still drops his fish.

By day's end, one dominant naval power reaches and ebbs from the high-water mark of its existence. The other strives toward mastering the world's oceans as it does today.

The novel is not just about the combat, but also the effect of combat on the men caught up in its crucible. For some, this day serves as a turning point, altering and shaping their futures.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A collection of short stories that form a story cycle of Gulf Coast residents and expatriates engaged in the struggle to maintain a cultural identity in a realm of change. For the author, one of the advantages of 'being southern' is luxuriating in complex ambiguity, time shifting at will, nonlinear thought, love of the absurd (which it often seems to be the way of life), nostalgia, and an opposition to manufactured realms of reality found in modernist fiction. This collection is southern, an organic unit, a piece of string. The first story is one end and the last is the other. The bits in the middle reflect the ends and all things are related.
