Description

Within hours of the attack on Pearl Harbour, the Japanese struck the small U.S. garrison on Wake Island. As his squadron's engineering officer, Marine pilot John F. Kinney used all his ingenuity to oversee the repair of damaged planes when he was not in the air fighting the Japanese. His gallant efforts helped the defenders hold out for an incredible two weeks. Kinney's remarkable story includes his escape from a Japanese POW camp in China and his service during the Korean War.
