Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. There were at least eight titles in the Red Randall Series by R. Sidney Bowen. The author had been a pilot in World War I, so he brought a sense of verisimilitude to his stories of aeronautical adventure. Bowen also authored the "Dave Dawson War Adventure Series" "Red Randall Over Tokyo" takes place, of course, in the Pacific Theatre of the Second World War. Red and his side-kick, Jimmy Joyce, who had acted heroically at Pearl Harbor, are sent on a perilous secret mission to contact a United States Intelligence Agent working in Japan. The agent has information vital to the American forces in the Pacific. The action takes the two heroes from Australia to the coast of China, where they meet up with General Chan, the head of a group of Chinese Guerrillas fighting the Japanese. Through a clever trap, the two Americans are captured by the Japanese and imprisoned. How they escape and complete their mission is at the core of their adventure. Plenty of aerial combat in this book . some of the escapades are hair-raising. The young boys back in America, who were the primary readership, avidly ate up these patriotic adventure stories.
