These cleverly interwoven tales of their heart-stopping adventures take us from the feats of World War I through the heroism of World War II and beyond, including daring military raids and survival-at-sea, and will appeal to fans of \u003ci\u003eUnbroken\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Greatest Generation\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eFlyboys\u003c\/i\u003e. With the world in peril in World War II, each man set aside great success and comfort to return to the skies for his most daring mission yet. Doolittle, a brilliant aviation innovator, would lead the daring Tokyo Raid to retaliate for Pearl Harbor; Lindbergh, hero of the first solo flight across the Atlantic, would fly combat missions in the South Pacific; and Rickenbacker, World War I flying ace, would bravely hold his crew together while facing near-starvation and circling sharks after his plane went down in a remote part of the Pacific. Groom's rich narrative tells their intertwined stories--from broken homes to Medals of Honor (all three would receive it); barnstorming to the greatest raid of World War II; front-page triumph to anguished tragedy; and near-death to ultimate survival--as all took to the sky, time and again, to become exemplars of the spirit of the \"greatest generation.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eWINSTON GROOM is the author of 14 previous books of nonfiction and fiction, including \u003ci\u003eShiloh 1862, Vicksburg 1863, Patriotic Fire\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eShrouds of Glory\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eForrest Gump,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eConversations with the Enemy \u003c\/i\u003e(with Duncan Spencer), which was a Pulitzer Prize finalist.
