About this ebook
During the four months leading to the fall of Bataan, Jim witnessed the heroism of the men and women who fought to defend Bataan. Though Jim is fictional, the events and most of the other people in the story are not. Rations were cut, medicine was scarce and disease rampant. Through it all the indomitable spirit of the American and Filipino defenders endured.
Sky Phillips
Sky Phillips owes her interest in aviation history to her father, a U.S. Air Corps pilot who flew in France during World War I. 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.
