Guadalcanal had to be fought for. Its beaches and valleys were one that would cost American lives. But Maykin was different, Maykin fell easily and the reason for that was a phantom ship that sailed in to the heart of Japanese waters leaving terror and destruction in its wake. Cavalcade of America tells you the story of that mystery vessel, perhaps the most fantastic tale of American daring and democratic ingenuity that has yet come out of the battle for the Pacific.

Written by Paul Peters this story is based on Commander William C. Shambler’s novel Boomerang.
