"From the authors of the New York Times bestselling The Heart of Everything That Is and Halsey's Typhoon comes the dramatic, untold story of a daredevil bomber pilot and his misfit crew who fly their lone B-17 into the teeth of the Japanese Empire in 1943, engage in the longest dogfight in history, and change the momentum of the War in the Pacific--but not without making the ultimate sacrifice"--Baker & Taylor.

Review of 'Lucky 666' on 'Goodreads'

Great read, it reads like a movie narrative and at a good clip but with plenty of vivid details. Wonderful story and feel it would have been a better mini-series for HBO than the 3 stories that slogged along in The Pacific.
