When America was losing the Pacific War in 1942, a 42-year-old former moonshine runner with no engineering degree did the impossible: he turned obsolete bombers into ship-killing machines. Paul "Pappy" Gunn's unauthorized modifications to the B-25 Mitchell transformed American hit rates from a catastrophic 2% to a devastating 80%, destroying over 1,500 Japanese vessels and shortening the war by six months. This is the incredible true story of how a bourbon-drinking Arkansas wild man with a personal vendetta—his family imprisoned in a Japanese camp—wielded a welding torch and refused to accept "impossible." From the Battle of the Bismarck Sea to his tragic end, discover the maverick genius who proved one person can change the outcome of history.
