The contribution of VMF-323, the "Death Rattlers", over Okinawa in the Spring of 1945 is virtually unknown. In two months there, the squadron became the top-scoring unit of any service with 124 1/2 victories and produced 12 aces, the most for one tour of any Marine squadron. Along with the traditional historical perspective, it is an inside look at the personal side of training and war.
