From the publisher:

"If the 'Greatest Generation' had a cartoonist-in-chief, Milton Caniff was it," says Newsweek. Master storyteller Caniff brings 1943-44's battles in the Pacific to life as Flight Officer Terry Lee earns his wings in a Sunday page so powerful, it was entered into the Congressional Record! In this fifth volume, old friends and foes cross paths with such new characters as Terry's comrades-in-arms, Snake Tumblin and the inimitable Hotshot Charlie. There are new romantic interests Willow Belinda, Jane Allen, and Jane McGillicudy--and neither Madame Shoo-Shoo nor Captain Midi are exactly who they seem...
