Raid of No Return: A World War II Tale of the Doolittle Raid (Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales Bigger & Badder Edition #7)

Description

Presented in a deluxe, oversized edition, learn about the most well-known air battles of World War II with author-illustrator Nathan Hale's Raid of No Return: Bigger & Badder Edition from the New York Times bestselling graphic novel series

With 16 pages of never-before-seen material, this brand-new, oversized edition of Raid of No Return just got a whole lot bigger and badder!

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, officially bringing the United States into World War II. A new generation of pilots were recruited to fly bombing missions for the United States, and from that group, volunteers were requested for a dangerous secret assignment.

Sixteen bombers set sail on the US's first aircraft carrier. Once at sea, they were told their mission was a retaliation strike against targets in Tokyo. But on the day of the raid, a Japanese patrol boat spotted them, and they had to launch early with barely enough fuel to get them past their target.

After the bombing, some pilots crashed, some were captured, and many ended up in mainland China and were carried to safety by Chinese villagers, being hunted by Japanese forces all the while.

With tales of high-flying action and bravery, Raid of No Return is a story of heartbreak and survival during wartime.
