Book Description:
Today they seem to be boring old men, telling wild stories to anyone who will listen, but once they were the hottest pilots in the Pacific--men who could fly anything, anywhere, any time. And they've just been handed the chance to end their lives as millionaires.

A dying comrade has a secret he doesn't want to take to the grave....He knows where to find a cache of old Japanese air force planes--not wrecks lying all over the floor of some jungle, but planes in pristine condition, properly moth-balled and stored before the end of the war.

But how do a group of retirees raise the money to finance a salvage mission of this size, without altering every other treasure hunter on the face of the earth?

Wade Lovett, a handful of his old comrades, and his surprisingly practical grandson are determined to succeed.

It will be the adventure of a lifetime.

Top notch adventure thriller. Think of the APPLE DUMPLING GANG crossed with FLIGHT OF THE OLD DOG and you have some idea of the fun in store.
A group of old pilots gather for a reunion, only to have one of their number die--nearly at the party. But before he dies, he discloses the location of a treasure on a remote Pacific island. Should they take up the gauntlet and go for the treasure? Or should they stay at home like the boring old farts their relatives think they are?
