James Bradley's #1 bestseller Flags of Our Fathers made real the humanity and
legacy of war as few books had before. Now, in Flyboys, Bradley returns to World
War II and an extraordinary-and totally unknown-true story of courage. Over the
remote Pacific island of Chichi Jima, nine American flyers-Navy and Marine pilots
sent to bomb Japanese communications towers there-were shot down. One of those
nine was miraculously rescued by a U.S. Navy submarine. The others were captured
by Japanese soldiers on Chichi Jima and held prisoner.
