Brief description:
Red Randall and Jimmy Joyce are en route to Calcutta to join the Twelfth Air Force when Jap dive bombers swoop down out of the sky and send Transport 58 to the bottom of the Indian Ocean. Adrift on a life raft, the two Yank air aces cling to the hope that they will be rescued. They are “rescued” . . . by a Jap submarine.’

How, through a strange twist of fate,Red and Jimmy escape and carry to a daring finish the R.A.F. officer's uncompleted mission makes a high-powered story of flying and adventure in World War II.
