Forgotten Hero: The Story of Jack Manch, Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo and the Self-Sacrifice of An American Warrior
No Customer Reviews
At 6 feet 7 inches, Jacob "Shorty" Manch was the tallest of Jimmy Doolittle's fliers and also one of the most colorful. This biography details his life as a rambunctious kid growing up in Staunton, Virginia, his pranks in military academies and his incredible adventure as a member of the group who launched the first bombing raid on Tokyo.
Manch died a hero, also, and his sacrifice over the skies of Las Vegas is explored in print here for the first time. Illustrated with many never-before-published photographs.
