The Imperial Japanese Navy was a pioneer in naval aviation, having
commissioned the world's first built-from-the-keel-up carrier, the
'Hosho'. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, it experimented with its
carriers, perfecting their design and construction. As result, by
the time Japan entered World War 2 and attacked the United States
at Pearl Harbor in 1941, it possessed a fantastically effective
naval aviation force. Carriers would roam the Pacific with near
impunity, destroying their opponents at will. This book covers the
design, development and operation of IJN aircraft carriers built
prior to and during World War 2. Pearl Harbor, Midway and the first
carrier vs carrier battle, the battle of the Coral Sea, are all
discussed.
