Very well written.

Information alone is the best. This is a great read it you want to learn about ww2 in the Pacific.

My rating of 5 stars is based mainly on Jack Fellows' wonderful artwork that is highlighted through out the book. I would rate the Coopers' accompanying text 4 stars. It is a good concise air war in the Pacific during WWII.

Solid enough history of the air war in the Pacific, but the star here are the paintings by Jack Fellows….they earn 5 stars.
