Each of the stories is well written and each provides a level of detail which holds the reader’s interest. In addition, each story is accompanied by an annotated diagram which helps the reader visualize the combat action and the locations of the pilots and their targets during the described engagement. See Common Knowlege for a sample of the writing style.

Easy read that captures the essence of WW2 Pacific fighter combat at the personal level. Book that benefits greatly from extensive individual interviews with most of the flyers.
