The Wild Banshees
“The Japanese called the Corsair Whistling Death. The pilots are starting to think something else is doing the screaming.”
Solomon Islands, 1943. Lt. Col. Mick Corrigan inherits a Marine Corsair squadron of orphan pilots and borrowed aircraft — the worst assignment in the Pacific. Then the squadron starts hearing things. A woman's voice on an empty frequency. A scent of turf smoke in a sealed cockpit at 20,000 feet. Pacific WWII military aviation fiction with a supernatural undertow that never quite resolves — and a brotherhood that will make you mourn every empty chair in the ready tent.
For readers of Stephen Coonts, W.E.B. Griffin, P.T. Deutermann, Karl Marlantes, and Anthony Doerr

Whistling Death
The Japanese named the F4U Corsair “Whistling Death.” The pilots of VMF-333 are starting to wonder what's doing the whistling. Major Declan “Mick” Corrigan takes command of a Marine squadron of orphans nobody else wanted, a handful of borrowed Corsairs, and a dirt strip in a coconut grove. He carries two names from a training accident at Jacksonville. He has promised himself he will bring every pilot home. Then the incidents begin. A woman's voice on an empty frequency. The scent of turf smoke in a sealed cockpit at 20,000 feet. A line chief who traces twenty-seven bullet holes and writes three words in the ledger. The squadron flew home that night. One of them stood on the flight line afterward. He did not walk away.

The Wailing
Every pilot in his squadron trusted him to keep the count. Someone else had been keeping it too. Central Solomons, summer 1943. Major Mick Corrigan is grinding VMF-333 north toward Munda one mission at a time, trading replacement pilots for a strip of coral that refuses to fall on schedule. He keeps the arithmetic in his own hand: every man out, every man back, by name, in a private notebook the official casualty forms never see. Then a classified file surfaces in the flight surgeon's tent. Twelve entries. Six weeks of clinical notes on things no medical textbook explains, built from testimony an enemy pilot gave that no American was ever meant to read. A security officer wants it seized, and its author called to account: a Japanese-American captain whose family sits behind a fence at Manzanar. Corrigan has to decide what he is willing to defend, and what he is willing to know.
