Flying Leathernecks

From Guadalcanal to Okinawa...the Marine air-devils blazed a trail of glory...while the women they left behind fought battles of their own!

Major Daniel Kirby assumes command of a Marine flier squadron just before they enter combat. He discovers the well-meaning men are undisciplined and tend to choose the easy path over the necessary one. The main issue is his second in command, Capt. Carl 'Griff' Griffin, the group's best flier but a poor commander unwilling to make the hard decision to send men into harm's way knowing they may be killed.
