In 1943, the Marine Corps acquired the B-25, renaming it the PBJ. A medium-weight bomber, over fifty feet long with an almost seventy-foot wingspan, it had two fourteen-cylinder Wright cyclone engines, located mid-wing, and the capacity for a long range, upwards of eleven hours of flying time from additional gas tanks. The Marines used this plane to create eight bomber squadrons, but only one equipped to operate at night with the new invention, radar. This is a story about that singularly unique squadron, VMB-612, from its inception at Peterfield Point, North Carolina, to its final days serving as a taxi service for the diplomats and bureaucrats flowing into the martial government in post-war Japan. All in their early twenties and late teens, the pilots and enlisted men of the squadron endured the hardships of war in the Pacific unique to an airplane squadron, and the driving pace of operations as American forces moved toward Japan. Confident of defeating the Japanese with no thought given to anything other than victory, the men learned the hard reality of war: it's a cruel, devastating, and deadly business.

Flight 27 Alpha is the compelling story of two men, father and son, tragically separated by an incident officially termed as an unexplained military accident. Father and son were brought together again 50 years in the future. Follow Captain Robert E. Hayes, the father from World War II in 1943 and General Robert E. Hayes Jr., the son from 1993 as they meet face to face once again, this time, in a very unusual way and get to know one another in a bizarre twist of fate that cannot be explained. With the help of a military historian, and their attempt to challenge what appears to be the impossible, father and son, along with the military historian, devise and attempt to carry out a mission that, if successful, would utilize the technology of 1993 on an aircraft from 1943 and alter the course of World War II and thereby save millions of lives in the process. In the end, follow four generations of Hayes men as they love and honor one another over a span of 68 years, Lieutenant Berry Hayes, World War I Curtiss H-16 bomber pilot, great grandfather, Captain Robert E. Hayes, World War II B-17G Flying Fortress pilot, grandfather, General Robert E.

The stories of those who wore the highly decorated "bomber jackets" in the US Army Air Corps during WWII continues to fascinate, educate, and entertain to this day. Worn as unique identifiers and to create an atmosphere of "esprit de corps" amongst the crew, these jackets offer a visual diary that reflected the hedonistic mindset of these extremely young airmen, pride in their part in fighting the enemy, and the social mores of the time. The high resolution photographs, featuring jackets from all WWII theaters and from museums and private collections across the USA, offer a glimpse into this seldom seem genre of military folk art. Supplemented with contemporary portraits, research, and never-heard-before wartime accounts, additional chapters examine their influence on fashion design worldwide, how to care for them as artifacts, and a section on collecting and appraisals. The book is rounded out with an index, for those who wish to dive further into WWII military clothing and history.The coffee table 300+ page book is arguably the definitive source ever produced on this subject.
