V a Nelson

An American Hero V a Nelson

It is August of 1942. Nineteen brave pilots of U. S. Marine Fighter Squadron VMF-223 must fly into the jaws of Hell. Like the brave Greek defenders at the pass of Thermopylae in 480 BC, these few aviators will play a major role in the fierce struggle to hold out against the Empire of Japan. Guadalcanal may be the closest thing to Hell on Earth; but it is strategically too important for either country to give it up. The mortgage payment for this real estate will have to be made in human blood and much more. This is based upon the true story of a marine fighter double-ace and recipient of the Navy Cross.
