“HELLDIVERS” U.S. Navy Dive-Bombers at War. By John F. Forsyth. Strap into the cramped cock-pit of a dive-bomber and fly wing as author John F. Forsyth leads you straight down through the blazing guns of the Japanese fleet to plant your bombs on the deck of the super-battleship Musashi. Forsyth flew an SB2C Helldiver for Bombing Squadron 18, the ‘Sunday Punchers’ from the deck of the carrier USS Intrepid (CV-11). Along with the other pilots and airmen of Air Group 18, he played a part in winning some of the greatest naval air battles of World War II — Coron Bay, Formosa, Leyte Gulf, Luzon and many others. Forsyth flew Helldivers and Corsairs for the U.S. Navy from 1943 to 1945. He was awarded the Navy Cross, the Silver Star, three Distinguished Flying Crosses and four Air Medals. 1991 softbound edition, 160 pages, 63 black and white photos, no maps or index.
