The Sky Is My Witness [Illustrated Edition]

Includes the Second World War In The Pacific Illustration Pack – 152 maps, plans and photos.

The vivid and colourful account of a Marine Divebomber’s personal experiences during the Pacific War, Captain Green fought at Midway, Guadalcanal and the New Hebrides. A heroic tale, humbly told from a Navy Cross winner no less.

“In the main, this is the story of myself and others like me—all commissioned Marine pilots. But not all the people connected with flying planes are officers. Quite a number of our best pilots are enlisted men, and practically all those who make the pilot’s job at all possible —those who service the planes, patch them together again, see to it that everything still works and keeps working—these are enlisted men. Perhaps this isn’t orthodox, but it is my sincere belief that these constitute the substance to our shadow. Let’s put it this way—we officer pilots do a hell of a lot that people hear about— officer pilots being more or less the glamor boys—but the enlisted of aviation do one hell of a lot that very few people hear about. It is to these enlisted of aviation that I humbly dedicate this book.”-The Author.
