Product Description

--The story of a man who descended into enemy territory to save a friend

A Korean War memoir by the author of Spearhead.
The Korean War is depicted through the story of Ensign Jesse Brown and Lieutenant Tom Hudner, the first black pilots in the U.S. Navy.
The two met while serving in the 32nd Fighter Squadron (VF-32) and developed a friendship on a Mediterranean cruise, where they met Marine Corpsman Private First Class [Red] Parkinson and others from the Catskills.
In between war games in the sun, they partied with the super-rich on the Riviera and became close friends with Hollywood star Elizabeth Taylor.
Then, the Korean War broke out, something no one had anticipated.
VF-32 is sent to the battlefield.
When Parkinson and his men are cornered at Chosin Reservoir, Tom and Jessie fly off to rescue the soldiers.
When one of the two is shot down, forced to make an emergency landing, and unable to escape, the other is faced with an unimaginable choice.
Will you watch your friend die, or attempt the most daring solo rescue mission in history?
It's a New York Times bestseller and has been adapted into a film on Netflix.
