Synopsis
This book details the exploits of the highly skilled Naval Aviators charged with achieving air supremacy over New Guinea in their A6M2/3 Zero-sens. The combat record of the Zero-sen in New Guinea has mostly been overstated, with little due being given to the constraining conditions under which the fighter operated. The air combats fought over New Guinea in 1942 between Imperial Japanese Naval Air Force (IJNAF) pilots and their Allied counterparts in P-39 Airacobras and P-40 Warhawks were often 'trial and error' affairs, with both belligerents being caught out by weather. This study covers the key role played by governing factors including geography and climatic conditions, and examines the modified tactics employed by IJNAF Zero-sen pilots to help them cope in-theatre through the comprehensive analysis of RAAF, USAAF and Japanese operational after action reports. Using first-hand accounts from both famous aviators and previously unknown RAAF and Japanese pilots, and specially commissioned artwork, leading South Pacific historian and author Michael John Claringbould sheds new light on the air war fought over the wilds of New Guinea during the course of 1942., The combat record of the Zero-sen in New Guinea and the Solomons has mostly been overstated, with little due being given to the constraining conditions under which the fighter operated. The aerial battles fought over New Guinea and Guadalcanal in 1942 between Imperial Japanese Naval Air Force (IJNAF) pilots and their Allied counterparts in P-39/P-400 Airacobras, Kittyhawk IAs and F4F-4 Wildcats were often 'trial-and-error' affairs, with both belligerents being hindered by weather. This book covers the key roles played by geography and climate, and examines the modified tactics employed by IJNAF Zero-sen pilots to help them cope in-theater. Using first-hand accounts, archival photographs and specially commissioned artwork, leading South Pacific historian Michael John Claringbould sheds new light on the air war fought over the wilds of New Guinea and the Solomons during the course of 1942. Tactical ribbon diagrams, Battlescene artwork, Armament views, Fully illustrated throughout, This book details the exploits of the highly skilled Naval Aviators charged with achieving air supremacy over New Guinea in their A6M2/3 Zero-sens.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (353,524)
- 8***5 (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI didn't see a verbal description of this book as "hardcover" or paperback. Cover design and price were similar to both cover styles. I thought I'd left a question for the seller, but I may have done something wrong. The package was too small to match the hardcovers previously received so I returned it unopened. Seller was very efficient, and packaging offered excellent protection. Haven't checked to see if refund was processed.
