These pilots called themselves the 'Tokyo Club'. It was a simple task to become a member. All you had to do was strap yourself into a heavily loaded P-51 Mustang, take off from Iwo Jima, fly 650 miles north over the sea, often through monsoon storms, in your single engined aircraft to Japan, attack a heavily defended target and then turn around and fly home despite a shrinking fuel supply and perhaps battle damage as well. Do it once and you earned membership in the club. Do it 15 times and you earned a trip home. However make one mistake or have one touch of bad luck, and you had a very good chance of ending up dead. This book tells the little known story of these brave men and their efforts to defeat the aerial forces defending Japan.
