CARRIER OPERATIONS IN WORLD WAR II

by J.D. Brown; David Hobbs

Published by Seaforth Publishing. 1st. 2009

Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. The culmination of a life's work by one of the great historians of naval aviation, containing material from two volumes, first published in 1968 and 1974, merged with the draft for a third which the author prepared but never published before his death. Edited by David Hobbs. Large format. Grey boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos. 304 pages including index.

A lovely copy!
