<p>The Secret Landing of the 6th TCS and the 1942 New Guinea Campaign. Ford brings the reader into the cockpit and the mind of a young, green pilot who had nothing going for him but guts, a desire to serve his country, and an uncanny instinct for making death-defying, split-second decisions when defeat seemed imminent. This first-hand, blow-by-blow account delivers an overdose of adrenalin-laced battle scenes along with insightful reflections about war, Army-brass, enemies, flying, God, and survival strategy. The 6th Troop Carrier Squadron, with only thirteen C-47s, was the first to be assigned to New Guinea--shortly after General MacArthur declared the island un-winnable.</p>
