### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Excellent First Volume of Trilogy
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2024*

This is an extremely interesting and thorough history of ground and air operations in the South Pacific area during the first three months of WWII.  The action described occurs in Australia, New Guinea, New Britain, New Ireland, the Solomons, and nearby island groups.  This campaign has been very sparsely documented in the US, being overshadowed by the initial Japanese attacks against Indochina, Malaya, Singapore, the Netherlands East Indies and the Philipines.  Since the main Allied participants in the Soth Pacific theater until March/April 1942 were Australians, coverage in the US Army and US Navy official histories is limited, though there are some excellent Australian internet resouces.  This is an aircraft aficionadoes dream, with detailed descriptions of missions, extensive photography coverage of little-seen aircraft and ships, detailed and accurate aircraft profiles, and extremely illuminating color maps and illustrations.  Of particular interest is the attention paid to Japanese sources, both official and personal.  The very important role played by Japanese floatplanes and flying boats in both reconnaissance and offensive operations is described in detail, information unavailable from other sources.  The authors also make detailed comparisons of official records for aircraft losses on both sides, which highlight the chronic overclaiming by aircrew and AA gunners.  It should be noted that this Volume 1 is the first of a trilogy, which in in combination covers the action in the South Pacific theater to the Battle of Coral Sea.  This volume and those that follow will be essential resources for anyone interested in understanding how the Japanese tide progressed in lightning strokes in the South Pacific in early 1942, and was finally halted by their inability to capture Port Moresby in New Guinea.

    The Battle of the Coral Sea campaign in great detail
  

*by J***D on Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2020*

This book as great illustrations and gives a detailed account of the battle and the day to day records of both the US and Japanese records to record actual aircraft losses and pilots names when those records are available.  The book doesn’t go into detail about the commanders and leaders as many other books have done but gives a great overview of the actual events as related to the aircraft and ships involved.  It is well documented.  Highly recommended and an entertaining overview.

    Enter the Carriers
  

*by K***W on Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2020*

Volume 3 of this excellent series takes us from May 1 thru June 18, 1942.  The slugging match between Rabaul/Lae and Port Morsby/Northern Australia continues, however this volume is dominated by the intervention and battle between the two large carrier fleets in the Battle of Coral Sea in early May 1942.At this point I don’t know what to say that I haven’t already said in my reviews of volumes 1 & 2.  The authors continue the same winning formula of tracking each air mission, the movement of ships, and accounting for the loss of each individual plane & aircrew on both sides with their informative and easy to read style.  Filled with maps for orientation, charts for additional information, and pictures for flavor this series of books simply can’t be beat.As a footnote I see the publisher is attempting to get the authors to write one more volume carrying the air campaign through the Battle of Milne Bay.  I certainly hope the fourth volume becomes a reality!
