Bloody Skies Over Bloody Ridge (Year OnePacificAerial Combat from Pearl Harbor to Guadalcanal) By Ned Barnett Kindle Edition Bloody Skies Over Bloody Ridge (Year OnePacificAerial Combat from Pearl Harbor to Guadalcanal) In mid September of 1942, in the Battle of Bloody Ridge, a massive Japanese Army force came incredibly close to over running the Marines on Guadalcanal. On the last day, when a handful of exhausted Marines were all that stood between Henderson Field and a Japanese force ten times their size, three P 400 Airacobras flown by the 67th Fighter Squadron were sent on a suicide mission to stop the Japanese in their tracks. After their desperate battle, Marine commander General Alexander Vandergrift told those three pilots, Youll never read it in the papers, but that three P 400 mission of your saved Guadalcanal. This eBook is part of a fictional retelling of the decisive war in the air during the first year of Pacific Combat, from Pearl Harbor through the Guadalcanal campaign. While most of the characters are fictional, this is as historically accurate as I can make it it is also, I hope every bit as exciting as the combat itself had been.
