Bibliography
The Japanese held the high ground on Leyte, the Philippine island which both sides saw as crucial to controlling the Pacific. Since the Japanese held a double advantage of being dug in and knowing that reinforcements were on the way, they felt secure against the lines of U.S. infantry and Marines battling across the island. What the Japanese didn't take into account, though, was the U.S.'s superiority in the air -- our ability and willingness to brave stormy skies and anti-aircraft fire--as wave after wave of American fighters and bombers pounded the enemy troop convoys and supply ships into a watery grave in Ormoc Bay. --From the back cover
