In his new book, the Fire Raid on Tokyo, Japan, March 9-10, 1945 is depicted with a haunting realism. This is Ray Clanton's story as well as the spellbinding exploits of several other B-29 flyers that participated in the drama of countless death defying missions of WWII. The narratives are compelling, depicting a graphic portrayal of the air war over the Empire of Japan and its chilling effect on the airmen who put their lives on the line. The slashing fighter attacks and the Flak Alley jungles will leave you in awe and make you ponder how anyone could have survived such hellish missions.

Download or read book Air Apaches written by Jay A. Stout and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American 345th Bomb Group--the Air Apaches--was legendary in the war against Japan. The first fully trained and fully equipped group sent to the South Pacific, the 345th racked up a devastating score against the enemy. Armed to the teeth with machine guns and fragmentation bombs, and flying their B-25s at impossibly low altitudes--often below fifty feet--the pilots and air crews strafed and bombed enemy installations and shipping with a fury that helped cripple Japan. One of the sharpest tools in the U.S. arsenal, the 345th performed essential missions during Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s campaigns in New Guinea and the Philippines, earning an impressive four Distinguished Unit Citations. This was punishingly dangerous work, and the 345th lost 177 aircraft and 712 men--young men doing their duty in the spirit of the Greatest Generation. Neither was this the more gentlemanly war of Europe, with its more temperate climate, resistance networks aiding downed crews, and POW camps. Airmen shot down in the Pacific theater faced drowning in the ocean, disappearing in the jungle, or torturing and beheading by the Japanese in a war of no quarter expected, no quarter given. A compelling follow-up to Jay A. Stout’s Hell’s Angels, Air Apaches reconstructs the missions of the 345th Bomb Group in striking detail, with laser focus on the men who manned the cockpits, navigated the B-25s, dropped the bombs, serviced the planes, and helped win the war. To tell this remarkable story, Stout worked closely with the group’s surviving veterans and dug deep into firsthand accounts. The result is a compelling narrative of men at war that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.
