Dogfight over Tokyo

In "Dogfight over Tokyo," historian John Wukovits recounts the poignant final hours of World War II as pilots from Air Group 88 embark on a last mission from the USS Yorktown. Unbeknownst to them, peace was declared just as they took to the skies, only to face a sudden attack from Japanese planes amid the celebration of victory. Through personal letters, diaries, and archival research, Wukovits delivers a gripping narrative that highlights the bravery and tragedy faced by these aviators in a surreal transition from war to peace.
