Jack and Charlie Davis, along with a new companion, Jimmy Ardana, are part of the Allied effort to stop the Japanese at Port Moresby in May 1942. But the Allies have received little in the way of reinforcements, and the only fighter available to face the Japanese Zero is the difficult to handle Bell P-39. Charlie flies dangerous reconnaissance missions to determine the location of the Japanese Navy. Jack, supposedly on his way home to the States, is diverted to be a flight commander in the 8th Fighter Group at Port Moresby.

If the Japanese take Port Moresby they can cut off the convoy routes from America to Australia, leaving Australia isolated and vulnerable. The situation, in early May of 1942, is grim, but the question is the same one Jack and Charlie have faced since December 8, 1941: Can we stop the Japanese with what we have?

Book 3, Boxcar Red Leader is as good as book 1; "Everything we had". Beside the continuous air action in a part of the War in the Pacific that most of us know little about; this book has added an enduring new character to the series. Jimmy Ardana appears to be just another "wet behind the ears" rookie pilot who has not even flown the fighter plane. Yet, he has just been assigned to an operational fighter squadron at Port Moresby.
Before, he gets off the transportation plane carrying him to his new squadron; he turns out to be one of those "larger then life" characters that right from the start enjoyably dominates this third book in the series. He reminds me of the W.E.B. Griffin character; James Cronley that is a hero of Griffin's last series, "A Clandestine Operations"

In some ways, he takes over from the series heroes; two brothers, one of whom is his fighter Squadron Leader and the other brother who is a major in the Bomber Group on the same Island.

I am anxiously waiting for the next in the series. It was a great read! Very Enjoyable.

Book 3 of the Pacific Air War Series is the best!
