This is the story of the 90th Bomb Group of the US 5th Air Force, nicknamed the Jolly Rogers, and the James Horner bomber crew, as told to the author by three surviving crew members, all in their 90s today.
It records the experience of the men and the history of the Group in the Pacific theater in World War II, from 1942-1945.
Formed in the aftermath of the Pearl Harbor attack, the 90th Bomb Group was equipped with the new four-engine Consolidated B-24 bomber, which many crewmen did not trust.
