5 stars

Wonderful essay on every aspect of air warfare over the main combat area in the Pacific Theatre of Operations during WWII. Everything is covered - geography, maintenance, materiel, training, living conditions, aircraft performance, tactical methods, combat stress, etc. Warning: this is not a narrative of war actions nor a chronology of events.
