Everything We Had
A Novel of the Southwest Pacific Air War, November-December 1941
by Tom Burkhalter
Description
November 1941: In the Pacific, war looms with Japan. In Europe, the Nazis are triumphant. England is under siege by air and sea. France has fallen, and the Nazi Wehrmacht is at the gates of Moscow itself.
Japan has been at war with China since 1937. Japan’s war industries depend upon imports of scrap metal and oil from the Allied nations. The Allies place an embargo on imports to Japan in 1941. The Japanese have a year's supply of oil to supply their armed forces.
Japan surrounds American possessions in the Philippines with overwhelming force on three sides. The US Army makes a desperate attempt to reinforce the Philippines garrison, but the clock is also ticking for the Japanese. The armed forces of Imperial Japan may attack the Philippines at any moment.
Two brothers, Jack and Charlie Davis, are pilots in the US Army Air Forces. They are part of the reinforcements sent to the Far Eastern Air Force, charged with air defense of the Philippines.
For Jack and Charlie, in a time when the US is on the brink of world war, a simple question must soon be answered: what will I do when the Japanese come?

Author Biography
Writing is the only thing I've stayed with consistently throughout my life. I first sat down with pen and paper to write a novel when I was ten years old. I managed three pages before losing interest - that time! I've done better since. Between then and now I've led a varied life. I have degrees in mathematics and the law, and I would have had a degree in physics I could tell the difference between a resistor and a transistor. I've been married and divorced, and at present I have one of the best women in the world in my life. To make a living I've delivered pizzas, cleaned stables, managed a fast-food restaurant, been a dispatcher in a flying school, worked on several different sorts of assembly lines, parked and refueled airplanes, been a mental health technician, proofreader and copy editor, paralegal, soils engineering technician and assistant curator for an aviation museum. I read omnivorously and it got worse with the advent of Kindle. I manage to have fun, though, and most important, keep writing!
