Description
Saburo Sakai's remarkable story is one of chivalry and valour in the face of overwhelming odds. As Japan's greatest living ace, he flew American fighter pilots and accumulated 64 kills during World War II.
This book tells his extraordinary journey from training as a fighter pilot to his harrowing experiences on the battlefield, including a 600-mile fight for life from Guadalcanal. With unprecedented access to Sakai's own memoirs and journalist interviews, Martin Caidin brings this remarkable story to life.
