"Hell in the Heavens may well be the most authentic account of the way it was in the South Pacific in the fateful years of 1943 and 1944 ever to appear in print. In its stories-some famous, some little known-of the Marines who flew the Corsair, it recreates for all time the drama, the excitement, the danger-and the boredom-experienced by the Americans who came know such faraway places as Guadalcanal, Vella Lavella and Espiritu Santo. John Foster joined the Navy early in 1942 and, after transferring to the Marines and receiving flight training, he joined the newly formed VMF 222, the 'Flying Deuces, ' at Midway. " Includes a list of officers, VMF-222.
