Book Overview
As air battles with Japanese fighter planes increased over the Pacific toward the end of World War 2, the Submarine Lifeguard League was formed to rescue downed aviators who had zoomed into the drink. The League helped save the lives of hundreds of Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps pilots - including the life of future President George H. W. Bush - from Japanese Zero planes as well as from certain death at sea. This literally last-ditch safety net for American carrier-launched fighter pilots is said to have given them stronger confidence in their dogfights with the Japanese over the vast expanses of the Pacific. Author Charles A. Lockwood ( Hellcats of the Sea ) brings his usual flair for submarine stories to this hair-raising account of the adventures of the Lifeguard League. *Includes annotations and images.
