Norman Jack "Dusty" Kleiss was born in Kansas in 1916. During World War II, he was present at Pearl Harbor, though he did not engage any enemy aircraft on that date. He went on to participate in many significant air raids in the Pacific theatre, becoming one of the most legendary dive-bombing pilots the United States had. This book recounts his experience fighting in the Battle of Midway. He takes special care to note those who lost their lives in this battle and strongly resents being considered a hero in any way. In the years after Midway, Kleiss participated in several remembrance days. He also publicly criticized admirals and other commanders for their decisions surrounding Midway. He lived to be 100, dying in 2016. I liked this book, and found it important to the historical record. Eyewitness accounts are vital to understanding the human experience of a historical event.
