About this ebook
The Imperial Japanese Navy was a pioneer in naval aviation, having commissioned the world's first built-from-the-keel-up carrier, the Hosho. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, it experimented with its carriers, perfecting their design and construction. As a result, by the time Japan entered World War II and attacked the United States at Pearl Harbor in 1941, it possessed a fantastically effective naval aviation force. This book covers the design, development and operation of IJN aircraft carriers built prior to and during World War II. Pearl Harbor, Midway and the first carrier vs carrier battle, the battle of the Coral Sea, are all discussed.

3 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5For a short book it had good details referring to most
of the ships - length, displacement, crew, aircraft, etc.
Shortcomings -
PHOTOS at beginning of book overexposed or
taken from great distances obscuring details;
COLOR INSERTS - too small to be viewed in any
detail ( believe it or not, they can be SLIGHTLY
enlarged by pressing the DECREASE font
button but of not much help );
DESCRIPTION of some color inserts is found PAGES
AFTER the images described. The reader has to
go back and forth from picture to its description.
