About This Book

Two wartime aviators, Dave Dawson and Freddy Farmer, carry out hazardous missions across the Pacific in a four‑engine bomber, answering distress signals and investigating suspicious lights at sea. Their sorties expose them to submarine attacks, sabotage, espionage, and unseen killers, while storms, night operations, and tense rescue attempts demand skill and nerve. The narrative progresses through a series of escalating aerial actions, mysteries, and narrow escapes that lead to decisive confrontations.
