This is a fascinating, action-packed, and compelling account of what is was like to be a WWII Nightfighter. During WWII, the job of a nightfighter was akin to a deadly game of hide-and-seek in a pitch-black sky. Each pilot's life literally depended on his radio link to support personnel on the ground - electrical failures could be catastrophic and engine trouble usually proved fatal. Unlike other fighter pilots, these men had zero visual perspective, even a moment of disorientation was a sure fire death sentence. Marion Milton Magruder was one of the first Americans to learn the techniques of Airborne Intercept Radar Night Fighting. He went on to lead a group of pilots who knew every intimate detail of their aircraft by sound, smell, and touch to become "Black Mac's Killers," the top-scoring Night Fighter Squadron in the Pacific Theatre. Filled with action and suspense, this heroic tale is a tribute to those men who cheated death, overcame immeasurable odds, and accomplished what the "experts" believed was impossible.
