In
the Hands of Fate (2002) by Dwight R. Messimer ('79 M.A.,
History)
Patrol Wing Ten was the only U.S. Navy aviation unit to fight
Japan in the early weeks of World War II, and the daring exploits
of its PBY scout-plane pilots offer a dramatic tale of heroism,
duty, and controversy. Poorly equipped and dead tired from
flying back-to-back patrols with no fighter cover, the men
lost 66 percent of their aircraft in just eight weeks as they
took on an enemy that outnumbered them nearly 1,000 to 1.
