It is Monday, 8 December 1941. On Wake Island, a tiny sprung paper-clip in the Pacific between Hawaii and Guam, Marines of the 1st Defense Battalion are starting another day of the backbreaking war preparations that have gone on for weeks. Out in the triangular lagoon formed by the islets of Peale, Wake, and Wilkes, the huge silver Pan American Airways Philippines Clipper flying boat roars off the water bound for Guam. The trans-Pacific flight will not be complete. A Magnificent Fight: Marines in the Battle for Wake Island recounts the marine battle in the Wake Island and references specific subjects, such as aircraft, personalities, and campaigns.
