On May 10, 1945, First Lieutenant Robert Klingman did the impossible. At 38,000 feet over Okinawa—3,000 feet above his Corsair's design limits—his guns froze. The enemy reconnaissance plane was about to escape with intelligence that would guide deadly kamikaze attacks on American ships.
With no ammunition and no working weapons, Klingman made a decision that changed the course of the day: he would ram the Japanese aircraft using his propeller.
This is the true story of courage, improvisation, and one man’s desperate mission to stop a threat no one else could reach. It’s a mission that defined Klingman’s war and became one of the most extraordinary aerial engagements of World War II.
