About this audiobook

Jack “Sully” O’Malley is twenty-two years old, fresh from MIT, and barely holding it together. His aircraft—an F4U Corsair nicknamed the “Lieutenant Liquidator”—is a brutal, unforgiving beast. His squadron, VMF-312, launches from the USS Hornet into the humid dawn, bound for an airfield in Japanese-held New Ireland. What should be a clean strike mission becomes a waking nightmare: flak bursts, Zeros scream out of the sun, and one of Sully’s own goes down in flames. When his wingman is crippled and a deadly Japanese ace closes in for the kill, Sully will have to break formation, disobey orders, and fight alone... or watch another friend die. Bent-Wing Angel is a gut-punch of a novella; gritty, vivid, and emotionally raw. Packed with authentic detail and based on real Pacific air war doctrine, this story puts you in the cockpit with sweating hands, screaming engines, and no room for second guesses. For fans of The Bridges at Toko-Ri.
