This book is an excellent reference work, with compelling documentation, for anyone who reads about the Pacific Air Battles of WW2. However, it is also a very good book to read; with perceptive scope and sufficient depth to sustain your interest. A great starting point for anyone interested in air combat in the Pacific but keep it nearby so that you can access it readily as you delve deeper into a war that transformed our world. ( )
