A Proud American: The Autobiography of Joe Foss

4/5 ( ratings)

Flying over Guadalcanal in the fall and winter of 1942-43, Joe Foss rewrote the aerial combat record books by becoming the first American to match legendary World War I ace Eddie Rickenbacker's twenty-six victories, a feat that earned him the Medal of Honor.Remarkably, this high-scoring ace almost never made it into combat. Considered "too old" at twenty-seven, this superb aerial marksman had been retained in the States as an instructor pilot. Unfortunately for the opposing Japanese pilots, Joe wrangled his way to the Southwest Pacific where he got the most out of his rugged F4F Wildcat.
