Bøger af Henry Faulkner

Only a month after the first aircraft carrier battle in history, another even bigger carrier clash looms between the US and Japan as war rages in the Pacific. Lieutenant Alan Ericsson pilots a dive bomber [DF1] aboard the USS Yorktown, the sole carrier to return from the previous battle, still bearing the scars of that conflict. American forces have an ace in their sleeve: Alan's wife Jennifer and other codebreakers have discovered Japan's plans. But the US Navy's damaged Yorktown and two other carriers are outmatched by Japan's four. A victory could turn the tide of war in America's favor. A defeat could spell doom for its Pacific forces-and perhaps for the entire free world.

Author Henry Faulkner brings naval officer Alan Ericsson back for another adventure set in the early, dangerous days of America's World War II campaigns in the Pacific Theater. Alan and his wife, Jennifer, married in Sprouting Wings. Both are now instrumental in America's battle in the Pacific. When the attack on Pearl Harbor leads to war, Alan ships out on the aircraft carrier the USS Yorktown. Alan is no longer a rookie, but he has little experience to prepare him for the adventure ahead. The war is still young, and rumors abound about the Japanese navy. They showed their power in the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the US Navy is eager for a chance to cripple them. The Yorktown sails through the Panama Canal and into the Pacific, every crew member ready for a chance to prove his mettle. Eagerness, as Alan learns, does not make up for preparation, and the clashing personalities and incompetent leadership on board the Yorktown may be a danger to them all. Meanwhile, Jennifer continues her important work in naval intelligence. Both husband and wife will be tested as the war rages on and the Yorktown finds the battle it's been seeking. The story is woven through a meticulously accurate retelling of the rich history of the period.
