disappointment
-
i've been disappointed by this book, that everyone consider very good.
the first reason is that it lacks a map of the battle and i don't think this makes thing easy for the reader.

The USS Enterprise: The World's First Nuclear Powered Aircraft Carrier
not too detailed but good -
if you're a modeler, this book is for you. there are a lot of picture and a very nice analysis of existing model kits. the story of the ship is briefly described, but it's not badly done .. just not enough for me :-)

The Aircraft Carrier Story, 1908-1945

one thing i don't like about this book is that, presenting the battle, it makes it sound like everything was doomed for the japanese from the beginning.
i know, and agree, that the plan was complex, force was too spread instead of concentrated, and that fatal mistakes were made.
but .. both nimitz and yamamoto gambled. nimitz won, but gambled nonetheless. had yamamoto won (let's say american carriers were found before their airplanes found the japs, or were spotted by the sub cordon) would it seem so obvious?
