Summary:

A very detailed look at the first 6 months of the Pacific War, for the US Navy squadrons. The early raids and the Battles of Coral Sea and Midway are covered in amazing detail. For just about every flight, Lundstrom has tracked down pilot names-- sometimes for the Japanese, too-- and quite often the aircraft numbers.

There are appendices of training in deflection shooting and general tactics for both sides.

I loved this, I'm surprised it's not already in this list!
