" John Foster joined the US Navy early in 1942 and, after transferring to the marines and completing flight training, he joined the newly formed VMF222, the "Flying Deuces," at Midway. After a brief stop at Guadalcanal's Henderson Field, the squadron went into action at Munda and there began an odyssey which was to last until the end of World War II and which was to take the men of the Flying Deuces from Munda to Vella Lavella (where the Deuces participated in the first fighter sweep over Rabaul) to Bougainville, to the Green Islands, to Samar and finally to Okinawa. John Foster fought side by side with some of the great Heroes of the war - Pappy Boyington, Joe Foss, Robert Hanson, Zeke Swett and many others - and he records their personalities and exploits." ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.
