Seller notes: Includes index. Bibliography: p. 305-322. There are not many of this book available as signed by James Belote or his brother. This is signed by James only, inscribed to Bob Score. The history as outlined here is fascinating and leaves one with the sense of courage and willingness to face death by the naval aviators from both the U.S. and Japan. "Basing their narrative on intensive research in official records and on after action reports of participants, many never before published, the authors trace the development of the carrier and carrier aircraft and naval strategy between the two world wars. They describe the ultimate example of carrier warfare-the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor-and the subsequent Japanese sweep of the southwest Pacific and Indian Ocean. The book follows the course of the carrier war in the Pacific through the battles of the Coral Sea, Santa Cruz, Eastern Solomons, Midway, and the climactic Battle of the Philippine Sea in June 1944-the battle that virtually destroyed Japanese carrier power and sealed the fate of the war.". Priced this attractively for a rare signed copy because of the condition.
