The Raiders mission, was well planned, gutsy and timely as it gave the US its first positive news from the pacific following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th 1941. Sadly all the  the above mentioned raiders have passed but what they accomplished and did for the US will live on forever within the United States history.

This Book has been properly stored since its purchase in the early 90's. Signatures and book are as photographed.
