World War II naval battles between the United States and Japan have
been the subject of many books, popular movies, and documentaries,
but the very important story of the fighting between United States
and Japanese aircraft carriers is often lost in broader discussions
of the Pacific naval war. This work concentrates exclusively on the
fighting between the American and Japanese aircraft carriers,
examining how strategies were planned and carried out on both
sides. Presented are the stories of the USS Hornet, which launched
the B-25s of James Doolittle's daring raid of Tokyo in 1942; the
USS Yorktown, which suffered fierce attacks during the Battle of
Midway; the USS Lexington, which refueled and rearmed Hellcats
during the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot; the USS Enterprise, the
leader of a motley assortment of cruisers and destroyers left to
hold a very precarious line in the campaign for Guadalcanal; and
the Japanese battleship Yamoto, sacrificed for a suicide mission
against 900 aircraft bombers.
