Marion Milton "Black Mack" Magruder, USMC, was one of the first American pilots to learn the art of Airborne Radar Intercept Operations and maintenance. During World War II, Magruder and three other pilots were selected by Maj. Gen. R. J. Mitchell to learn the specialized techniques from England's Royal Air Force. Pressed for time after the attack on Pearl Harbor, they finished a one-year program in an astonishing three months. This biography follows Magruder's WWII actions, highlighting his accomplishments as leader of the top-scoring Nightfighter Squadron in the Pacific Theatre. Magruder trained an independent squadron of pilots just out of flight school. This unit continually achieved so-called "impossible" standards and cheated death on a nightly basis. Never-before-released information from Colonel Magruder's private files, VMF(N)533 Squadron War Diaries, After Action Reports, and Secret Communiques have been incorporated into this tale of military evolvement and American heroes.
