This is a excellent book. It is the first book I have read about the USS Ranger's carrier raids over Norway. It is also one the first book I have read where the author describes many of the actual pilots and crews that were lost during carrier operations rather then generic number of aircraft that did not return to the carrier he was serving on, here he list the names of the men and where known the reason for the loss. His description of each type of aircraft he flew, their positive side and short commings made understanding the book much easier. As I said and excellent book that I recommend to anyone interested in WWII carrier operations.
