Sky Phillips lived in the Philippines during the 1920s as an “Air Corps brat” and again in the 1960s as the wife of an Air Force pilot. Her interest in aviation history and knowledge about the Philippines intersects with the story of the Battle of Bataan. Using her vast collection of ex-POW interviews and books about the Japanese invasion and occupation of the Philippines, Phillips has created a historically accurate narrative of the defense of the Philippines from the December 8, 1941 bombing through the fall of Bataan on April 9, 1942.view less
