Summary: A fine book on the Henderson Field operation
Review: I read this book several years ago and was impressed with the historical facts pertaining to the Quadalcanal fight. The men that took place in the defense of that island were true Heros.

Summary: The best I've read on the air war over Guadalcanal
Review: The fight for Guadalcanal as told from the air. Another of my favorites, it recounts the deeds of Joe Foss, Marion Carl, et al and their desperate bid to hold onto America's first gains in the Pacific. This one will have you rooted to the edge of your seat. It's a great mix of well researched historical information and dramatic story telling."WWII Aviation Booklist" http://www.ampsc.com/~prophet/booklist.html
