About This Item
Osprey Pub Co, 1993. New book, CAM030, 96 pages. One of the most important naval battles in history, Midway was fought barely six months after the devastating Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The badly damaged USS Yorktown was repaired in just 48 hours and with Enterprise and Hornet set out to meet the Japanese. In a battle marked by great heroism on both sides the United States dealt a devastating blow to the Imperial Japanese Fleet sinking four of her most powerful carriers. In this superbly illustrated volume Mark Healy tells the whole story; espionage, daring, luck and extreme heroism. A fascinating read supplemented by genuine photographs of the battle in progress. Contents: Prelude to Midway, The US Preparations, The Opposing Plans, The Opposing Commanders, The Opposing Naval Air Arms, The Battle: 3 June, The Battle: 4 June, The Aftermath, Chronology, A Guide to Further Reading, Wargaming Midway.. Soft Cover. As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
