This biography completes a trilogy on the three Navy fighter pilots - Jimmie Thach, Butch O'Hare, and Jimmy Flatley - who developed sweeping changes in aerial combat tactics during World War II. This portrait of the famous pilot provides a memorable account of how Thach, convinced that his Wildcat was no match for Japan's formidable Zero, found a way to give his squadron a fighting chance.
