Air Apaches : the true story of the 345th Bomb Group and its low, fast, and deadly missions in World War II / Jay A. Stout.

Stout, Jay A., 1959- (author.).

Summary:

Historian and aviator Jay Stout follows up his spellbinding account of the U.S. 303rd Bomb Group "Hell's Angels" with the equally remarkable story of the Air Apaches in the Pacific. Stout reconstructs the war of the 345th Bomb Group in impressively painstaking detail, capturing what it was like to be one of the young men flying low-level bombing and strafing missions and facing such challenges as kamikaze attacks and, if a pilot was shot down, primitive jungle conditions and a sword-brandishing enemy who did not treat downed airmen by the letter of the Geneva Convention.
