Joe Foss Flying Marine - The Story of his Flying Circus #653910

Joe Foss was one of the deadliest Marines to ever sit in the cockpit of a fighter aircraft.
With 26 victories to his name, he became the first pilot to equal Eddie Rickenbacker’s American World War I record.

Foss’ book Joe Foss Flying Marine: The Story of his Flying Circus is a remarkable work that demonstrates just how tough life could be for a fighter pilot in the Pacific Theater of World War One.
Through the course of the book Foss explains how he became a pilot, despite the fact he was initially deemed too old, why he, and men like him, chose to fight the war in the air and what it was like to engage in dogfights with Japanese pilots.

“His remarkable flying skill, inspiring leadership and indomitable fighting spirit were distinctive factors in the defense of strategic American positions on Guadalcanal.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt, President, United States.
