The USA's sorry state preparedness following the surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor leads the War Department's super secret "Department of Special Projects" to search every backyard in the country for any weapon, no matter how hare-brained, that might turn the tide against the Japanese onslaught. But even the D.S.P. couldn't foresee the disastrous consequences, when an overzealous Lieutenant sells them on Professor Flungk's "Flying Boomerang." It's an airborne nightmare, but even FDR is touting the new secret weapon in his fireside chats. The notorious "Flying Boomerang" is going up...

ASSIGNMENT: DESTINY Volume II, takes a penetrating look into the history of the not so illustrious predecessors to the Flungk Z-44 Mk I "Boomerang." Not for the faint of heart, A: D Volume II rips off the thin veneer of civilized history to reveal the tawdry and venal truth about the inglorious technical precedents that led up to one of the great technological blunders of the 20th century. If you like your history with a whopping dollop of hysteria and a side order of ludicrous banality, then look no further. Or farther, for that matter.
