From April to August of 1945, Captain Jerry Yellin and a small group of fellow fighter pilots flew dangerous bombing and strafe missions out of Iwo Jima over Japan. Even days after America dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the pilots continued to fly. Though Japan had suffered unimaginable devastation, the emperor still refused to surrender. Here, bestselling author Don Brown sits down with Yelllin, now ninety-three years old, to tell the incredible true story of the final combat mission of World War II.
