520    During 1944, as Gen. Douglas MacArthur's forces fought 
       their way from New Guinea to the Philippines, Allied air 
       commander Gen. George Kenney, discarding pre-war doctrine,
       planned and ran an "air blitz" offensive. His 5th Air 
       Force drove forward like a tank army, crash-landing in 
       open country, seizing terrain, bulldozing new airfields, 
       winning air control, and moving forward. At airfields on 
       the front line, Rocky Boyer kept the radios working for 
       the 71st Tactical Reconnaissance Group, a fighter-bomber 
       unit.  Diaries were forbidden, but Rocky kept one-full of 
       casualties, accidents, off-duty shenanigans, and rear-area
       snafus. He wrote about wartime camp life at Nadzab, New 
       Guinea, the largest air base in the world, part Scout camp
       and part frontier boomtown. He knew characters worthy of 
       Catch-22: combat flyers who played contract bridge, 
       military brass who played office politics, black 
       quartermasters, and chaplains who stood up to colonels 
       when a promotion party ended with drunken gunplay and 
       dynamite.  This is a narrative of the war as airmen lived 
       it. The author uses Rocky's story as a jumping-off point 
       from which to understand the daily life of the men who in 
       1944 fought their way over the two thousand miles from New
       Guinea to the Philippines.
