About This Book

The story follows an American pilot, Stan Wilson, and his comrades as they leave a stagnant posting in Singapore to join Chinese air forces, ferry aircraft to Rangoon, and engage in wartime missions across Southeast Asia. The narrative traces aerial combat with Japanese forces, hazardous rescue operations, capture and imprisonment, and a trek through jungle terrain that includes encounters in Siam and at a distinctive temple.
