The huge, slow-moving PBM seaplanes flew by day, searching out enemy shipping. In the darkness of the night they returned, to attack and destroy. Although these squadrons played a vital role in World War II, almost nothing has been published about the lives and experiences of the young men who formed the crews for these missions. This is the gritty true-to-life story of one of these crews in the Pacific theater. Sent on a suicide mission to bomb an enemy airstrip, these men soon found out that the war was not about glory and heroism, but was about hardship, pain and death. Surviving against all odds, they found that the true enemy was not the Japanese, but was the corrosive influence of the war itself.
