MISSION BEYOND DARKNESS
Four Signature Limited Edition
Following the attack against Admiral Ozawa’s Japanese carrier fleet, Admiral Marc Mitscher defies all rules of naval engagement: In total darkness, with the ever-present danger of enemy submarines, he orders every ship in his Task Force 58 to switch on lights to guide over 100 returning carrier-borne aircraft, all desperately low on fuel. Amid the confusion, unable to get a landing slot aboard the USS Lexington, and now out of fuel, a pilot and his gunner scramble from their ditched SB2B Curtiss Helldiver, as a Fletcher class destroyer manoeuvres to make the pick-up.
The 1997 release by Robert depicts one of the most remarkable missions during the naval air war in the Pacific. Four aircrew personally involved in the mission have signed the print... find out more HERE!
