First Edition. quarto, pictorial boards. (vi), 214pp. Phalanx Publishing Co., Ltd., Item #16005
A comprehensive chronicle of the pursuit units of the old Hawaiian Air Force and their evolution as the Seventh Fighter Command through the long Pacific air war. Except for one momentous day in their history, December 7, 1941, little of this story has been previously recorded. Includes numerous color and black and white photographs, unit insignia in color, and maps and charts. Appendices list the unit history, missions, sorties, victories, those killed in action, aces, and Japanese losses and victory claims. Tiny bump to head of spine, otherwise a near mint copy.
