Sky Is My Witness [Illustrated Edition]

Includes the Second World War In The Pacific Illustration Pack - 152 maps, plans and photos.The vivid and colourful account of a Marine Divebomber's personal experiences during the Pacific War, Captain Green fought at Midway, Guadalcanal and the New Hebrides. A heroic tale, humbly told from a Navy Cross winner no less.'In the main, this is the story of myself and others like me-all commissioned Marine pilots. But not all the people connected with flying planes are officers. Quite a number of our best pilots are enlisted men, and practically all those who make the pilot's job at all possible -those who service the planes, patch them together again, see to it that everything still works and keeps working-these are enlisted men. Perhaps this isn't orthodox, but it is my sincere belief that these constitute the substance to our shadow. Let's put it this way-we officer pilots do a hell of a lot that people hear about- officer pilots being more or less the glamor boys-but the enlisted of aviation do one hell of a lot that very few people hear about. It is to these enlisted of aviation that I humbly dedicate this book.'-The Author.
