The First Team: Pacific Naval Air Combat from Pearl Harbor to Midway

A comprehensive but, nevertheless, readable account of the U.S.Navy carrier fighter operations in the Pacific between December 1941 and June 1942. The book is thoroughly researched and very well edited (A single BuAer serial error in such a large volume is not an easy feat!). Maps and pictures can be improved a bit but it was my stupid error to buy a paperback edition! ( )

Thorough and excellent analysis of naval fighter combat in the early days of WW2 ( )
