During the Battle of Midway in June 1942, US Navy dive bomber pilot
Wade McClusky proved himself to be one of the greatest pilots and
combat leaders in American history, but his story has never been
told - until now. It was Wade McClusky who remained calm when the
Japanese fleet was not where it was expected to be. It was he who
made the counterintuitive choice to then search to the north
instead of to the south. It was also McClusky who took the
calculated risk of continuing to search even though his bombers
were low on fuel and may not have enough to make it back to the
Enterprise. His ability to remain calm under enormous pressure
played a huge role in the US Navy winning this decisive victory
that turned the tide of war in the Pacific. This book is the story
of exactly the right man being in exactly the right place at
exactly the right time. Wade McClusky was that man and this is his
story.
