Air Combat at 20 Feet

From Garrett Middlebrook

The facts stated in my book are taken from my notes entered daily into my diary during the last five months of 1942 and the first ten months of 1943. During this time I served as a World War II, United States Air Corps pilot in the southwest Pacific war zone.

To those of you who are combat air veterans, I trust you will find this material a worthy symbolism of the experience, emotions and traumas, which you witnessed yourself. To those of you who are fortunate in not having been exposed to battle, I have some hope that this chronicle may assist you to accurately draw a concept of air war and perhaps help you to appreciate the sacrifices your fathers, grandfathers and fellow countrymen made.

To all who read this manuscript, whether one page or every page, it is the author's fervent hope that you will conclude, as have I, that war, as a means of settling human conflict, is an insane anachronism cruel beyond the conception of the human mind, and which settles nothing. For when the fighting stops, the peoples of the two belligerent nations still exist and the issues are not solved--they are only temporarily subdued.
