Aerial night fighting against the Japanese in World War II demanded
the merger of a special type of pilot and plane. This is the story
of those pilots who risked their lives night after night flying
P-38 Lightnings, P-70 Nighthawks, and P-61 Black Widows - America's
first purposely designed night fighter - for the 13th Air Force in
the South and Southwest Pacific between 1943 and 1945. Night
fighting included aerial intercepts of Japanese aircraft as well as
raids against Japanese installations. This book provides detailed
accounts of all these missions including the first solo night
fighter raid over the highly defended Japanese base at Rabaul,
night aerial combat against Japanese bombers and fighters, and
harrowing night attacks against Japanese ground targets. Coverage
of American night fighter tactics and Japanese counter-tactics add
to the tale as 13th Air Force pilots battled the Japanese for
control of the night skies.
