This seems like a reasonably well-done description of the Doolittle raid, within the obvious limitations of the Osprey format. The most obvious limitations of that format are length (96 pages) and the absence of notes. There are several good maps in the book; the full-color paintings, specially commissioned for the work, are more questionable. Author Chun does seem to have done some original research, if the bibliography is any indication. ( ) Dopo l'attacco a Pearl Harbor, nel dicembre 1941, l'America era in difficoltà: aveva dovuto cedere aree di interesse fondamentale come le Filippine e si stava preparando al peggio alle Hawaii e sulla costa occidentale. Con il raid di Doolittle sul Giappone, organizzato dalle armi combinate, gli americani dimostrarono comunque di saper reagire prontamente. Il libro esamina questo attacco innovativo, che avrebbe dimostrato ai giapponesi di essere tutt'altro che invincibili. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
In early 1942, the strategic situation was bleak for the United States. She had been in continual retreat since Pearl Harbor, surrendering major areas such as the Philippines, and was preparing for the worst in Hawaii and on the West Coast. The Japanese, on the other hand, had secured a well-defended perimeter, and was set for further expansion. Something needed to happen quickly and be of considerable impact-and the combined-arms, April 1942 Doolittle Raid on Japan was a way to achieve this. This book examines the planning, execution, and aftermath of this innovative, daring and risky attack, which would show that the Japanese navy and air forces were anything but invincible.
