Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. The Pacific theater is often discussed in terms of its most famous battles: from Coral Sea and Midway to Guadalcanal and Leyte Gulf. The Sundowners, Pegasus, and Little Butch provides a new perspective on the Pacific War by following the exploits of a single Navy unit, Carrier Air Group 11 (CVG-11), beginning in 1943. Author Brian D. Laslie tells the riveting story of how the unit produced several aces, built a storied combat record, and played an important role in the defeat of Japan. Like other Carrier Air Groups, CVG-11 comprised three aircraft squadrons: fighter (VF-11), bomber (VB-11), and torpedo (VT-11). The fighter squadrons Sundowners nickname references both the downing of Japans Rising Sun and a hard-working sailor. The bomber groups Pegasus nickname is believed to be related to Pegasus, the winged horse of the Muses in Greek mythology. The Little Butch nickname was bestowed on the torpedo group after the war when Walt Disney designed their insignia, which consisted of a black torpedo with a skull and crossbones on it and a winged cherub wearing a green helmet nicknamed Little Butch. CVG-11 saw its first action on Guadalcanal in 1943. It was then deployed on the aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CV 12) and fought throughout the Central and Southwest Pacific areas, including Luzon, Mindanao, Mindoro, French Indochina, and Okinawa from 1944 to 1945. The air groups achievements during World War II were laudable, amassing 103 air-to-air victories, destroying 272 grounded planes, and sinking more than 100,000 tons of Japanese shipping. During its time on the Hornet, CVG-11 also produced four aces, with top ace Charlie Stimpson shooting down an impressive sixteen enemy planes. VF-11 took great pride in protecting their shipmates and other squadron members in VB-11 and VT-11 and logged a perfect escort record, losing no bombers or torpedo planes to Japanese aircraft during the entire conflict. Laslie weaves together diaries, interviews, archival research, and official battle reports to present CVG-11s compelling story. The book offers fascinating insight on how most units contended with the daily challenges of war in the Pacificboth ordinary and extraordinary, from rough weather to kamikaze attacks. The Sundowners, Pegasus, and Little Butch tells an exhilarating tale of men and machines at war that adds to the collective memory of World War II.
