THE JAPANESE TIDAL WAVE SWEEPS THROUGH SOUTHEAST ASIA
Freed from their colonial masters, Thailand, Indo-China, and Malaysia welcome the Japanese invaders with open arms. Once Burma falls, only India stands between them and the oil-rich Middle East. Now poised to achieve the same results in Burma, they attack.
Despite defeats at Pearl Harbor and the Philippines, the Greatest Generation's Vanguard forms. Four young Americans, three men and one woman, each for their own reasons, step into this disaster sweeping through Southeast Asia.
After making a pact with the devil to gain passage to China, the woman works as a nurse in a Chinese hospital caring for civilians injured by Japanese bombers. Here she walks a personal tightrope while meeting the needs of her patients.
The men, members of the Flying Tigers, defend Rangoon and China's supply routes. Despite their own personal struggles, outnumbered and undersupplied, they battle Japanese air superiority over Burma. But, while the American public cheer their achievements, the military hierarchy moves to corral this maverick outfit and its leader. Make them merely one more unit in the Army Air Corps.
Can anything stop the Japanese steam roller? Can the young woman continue her deception? Will these young men's personal struggles distract them from the danger faced daily?
