Résumé

The Battle of the Bismarck Sea, at the beginning of March 1943, concludes with the destruction of the Japanese convoy sent with reinforcements for the Japanese Army fighting around Lae and Salamaua. It is a triumph for the 5th Air Force, but even in the wake of so great a victory, the 5th is down to a handful of battered airplanes and their crews at the end of a rapidly fraying shoestring. The 5th simply does not have the resources in men or airplanes to exploit their victory.
General George Kenney, commander of the 5th Air Force, goes to Washington, DC, along with representatives of the other commands of the far-flung Pacific theater to fight for more resources. With the heavy demands of the war in Europe, that has higher priority than the war in the Pacific, how much Kenney will get and when he will get it are factors that mean life, death, victory, or defeat for Kenney's Kids.
The Japanese, too, fight at the end of a long and increasingly tenuous supply line, and for the moment, cannot bounce back from their defeat. Even though possession of the strategic port of Rabaul permits them to fight Allied forces around Guadalcanal as well as Papua New Guinea, the year-long air battle has cost the Imperial Japanese Navy many of their best pilots and crews. Increasingly during 1943, the Allied air forces will face the pilots and planes of the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force.
Jimmy Ardana and Danny Evans are near the end of their tour of duty in the Pacific. They survived where many others did not. Will they survive long enough to make it home?
