Description:

SUMMARY: They were young and innocent. Arriving in a place they had barely heard of, they prepared for the ritual many men had endured before them -- war. They were American fighter pilots, and they came on a huge ship that also carried their helicopters. Trained as professionals, but as frightened as every man before them who had ever gone to war, they would face an enemy they couldn't understand and wage a war they had to win.
