Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

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.

Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
In the history of war there have been few military operations in which the trifling material damage inflicted on an enemy has been so totally outweighed by its attendant psychological impact, and the ensuring strategic consequences, as in the Doolittle raid on Japan on 18 April 1942. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Midway:1942 is a real FIND for modelers for dioramas, April 7 1999
Osprey Campaign series does it again. Why does it take the British traditionally to hire detail illustrators as good as this series? For the modeler who wants to REALLY display his stuff DIORAMAS do it better.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good overview, but poorly detailed., Nov 2 1996
By A Customer
Midway 1942 provides an acceptable overview of the battlebut some of the illustrations are improperly captioned,the author also duplicates some charts for no apparent reason. He also confuses unti designations making it hard to interpret the details he provides. On the positive side this book provides many good pictures and diagrams of Japanese ships and aircraft.
