This interesting book, is basically an oral history of the Royce Raid's only living survivor who has since his telling, passed away.  These air strikes were the only American counter-attack in the Spring of 1942 on the Phillapines.  Using Dutch-owned B-25's they flew from Darwin to Mindanao and launched a series of small raids upon the Japanese in the southern Phillapines.  This is a remarkable tail of courage, adaptability, and old-fashioned "spunk".  This mission received almost no publicity dur to the fact that the Tokyo Raid took place a few days later.
