Description
Book SynopsisPacific Adversaries conveys detailed stories of aerial warfare in the South Pacific, chosen because both Japanese and Allied records can be matched for an accurate accounting. This third volume describes confrontations between the air arm of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) and the Allies in New Guinea and the Solomons.
Trade ReviewAs with all Claringbould books, the prose and details offers compelling reading. * Historical Miniatures Gaming Society *
Once again, Michael John Claringbould has presented a wide-ranging selection of events from the Pacific War, some well-known and some virtually unknown. Each is well researched and documented, and accompanied with numerous illustrations based on extensive research, giving the modeler the reference to create a specific replica with its own unique story to tell. * IMPS/USA 22/03/2021 *
