Infierno en las nubes

La historia

Hawai, verano de 1942. Los aviones surcando constantemente el cielo contrastan con la placidez de las playas y ponen de manifiesto una trágica realidad: la guerra. Los japoneses dominan las islas hasta Guadalcanal. El mayor Dan Kirby es nombrado comandante del escuadrón de combate VMF-247, noticia que no es muy bien recibida por los soldados, que esperaban el ascenso de Carl Griffin, su capitán. Los caracteres de Kirby y Griffin chocan al principio, aunque el capitán irá descubriendo poco a poco el valor y la entereza de Kirby, sobre todo cuando deban emprender la gran batalla del Pacífico.
