About this ebook
The Aichi Type 99 Carrier Bomber (D3A) - code named 'Val' by Allied intelligence - was the mainstay of the Imperial Japanese Navy's carrier dive-bomber force from 1941 to 1943. It sank more Allied warship tonnage than any other Axis aircraft during World War II (1939-1945). While the Val's participation in the major carrier battles has been widely covered in other English language sources, details of its operations have received scant attention in English. This book explores the Val's combat operations. Colour illustrations and photographs complement the development of dive-bombing methods in the IJN.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This long-promised number in the Osprey "Combat Aircraft" series was well-worth the wait and is to be much preferred over Peter Smith's Crowood Press book on the same aircraft's service. It's the little details that make the difference. For example, it's often cited that the airmen on the Zuikaku-class carriers were looked down upon as being something of a second team. The reason for this is that these men were recruited from the land-based element of the Japanese naval air arm and were not trained for carrier-work from the start. This short work is filled with details such as this.
