Intrepid's Fighting Squadron 18: Flying High with Harris' Hellcats
Michael I. Fink
USS Intrepid’s Fighting Squadron 18 (VF-18) was one of the U.S. Navy’s highest-scoring carrier units of World War II. Despite having only one combat veteran in its roster, its aviators were credited with shooting down more than 170 planes during their 81-day tour of duty. This book explores how this novice unit accomplished such a feat.
