Description

Its December 8, 1941, and on the remote Wake Island—a small, vital outpost nestled between Hawaii and Guam—Marines of the 1st Defense Battalion are gearing up for another grueling day of war preparations that have consumed them for weeks. Meanwhile, the majestic Pan American Airways Philippine Clipper takes to the skies, soaring across the lagoon formed by the islets of Peale, Wake, and Wilkes, bound for Guam. However, this trans-Pacific journey will never reach its destination. - Summary by Robert Cressman
