During the early years of World War II in the Pacific theatre, against overwhelming odds, young American airmen flew the longest and most perilous bombing missions of the war. They faced determined Japanese fighters without fighter escort, relentless anti-aircraft fire, and thousands of miles of over-water flying with no alternative landing sites. This is the true story of the men and missions of the 11th Bombardment Group as it fought alone and unheralded in the South Central Pacific.
