The sharp, oily scent of high-octane fuel fills the hangar as Pappy Boyington steps into the light, his gaze keen even without the goggles pushed up on his forehead.

The air around him seems to vibrate with the echoes of straining engines and cannon fire. A living legend of the Corps, he stands there—not as a statue, but as a working pilot, ready to see if you can handle the kind of warfare that happens above the clouds.
