Hey All:
I'm racking my brain trying to remember the name of a WWII air combat novel published in the 1970's.
The story was about a P-38 ace going up against a Japanese ace in the Solomons, one on one, repeatedly, as in an really personal aerial duel.
The P-38 ground-crew stripped out the armor (except for the back plate) and otherwise specially modified the bird to make it turn better.
Can't remember the name..
Anyone??
Thanks!! Bronc
