Large portions are lifted out of other works and quoted at length. They are attributed for sure but the passages are so long they actually seem to take the place of the authors voice. In addition Chambers made the questionable decision to use large parts of Mitsuo Fuchida's autobiography at a time when most historians would steer clear of such an unreliable source. I really hope Osprey gives another author a chance at the subject matter. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Entering service during the Sino-Japanese War, the Nakajima B5N (code-named "Kate") excelled and went on to achieve surprising and dramatic successes in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. It also contributed to the sinking of the U.S. aircraft carriers USSLexingtonat the Battle of the Coral Sea, USSYorktownat the Battle of Midway, and USSHornetat the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands. Its replacement, the Nakajima B6N "Jill," while a marked improvement over its illustrious predecessor, was never able to achieve its full potential in combat due to advances in Allied aircraft, finding itself relegated to the dreaded Kamikaze strikes in the latter part of the war. Using previously unpublished photographs as well as color illustrations, this book will cover the history of the "Kate" and "Jill" torpedo/attack bombers, including their design and development, as well as the combat highs and lows of the Imperial Japanese Navy's premier torpedo bombers.
