Problem is, how the f*ck am I supposed to read that thing!?
The Japanese one looks interesting, been thinking of getting it, plus the Navy one, time will tell!

I have the Navy one Jan, I really liked it and the reason why I am getting the Army version of the same book.
 




Now these two are pure Royal Navy carrier operations in WWII, but the question is....is the Vol. 1 included with other stuff to make the Volume. II, after reading some reviews I'm a tad confused....
Anyhoo, time will tell....

Edit: Carrier Operations in World War II, by J. D. Brown, edited by David Hobbs

Annapolis: Naval Institute Press, 2009. . Pp. 304. . Illus., tables, append., notes, biblio., index. . $72.95. . ISBN: 978-1-591-14108-2.

The original two volume edition of Carrier Operations in World War II, by the late J.D. Brown, a former Fleet Air Arm Officer, were published over a decade ago. This revised and expanded one volume edition, by Commander David Hobbs of the Royal Navy, himself a prolific author on naval history (Aircraft Carriers of the Royal and Commonwealth Navies: The Complete Illustrated Encyclopedia from World War I to the Present), incorporates both of Brown's original two volumes, plus material the author had intended to include in a third volume, and other new material, to bring the work up to date.

Carrier Operations in World War II is essentially an overview -- almost a catalog -- of quite literally scores of carrier operations during the Second World War. Divided into three "volumes," each covers a distinct aspect of carrier operations.* The first deals with the British experience in Atlantic, Mediterranean, and African waters from 1939 through 1945, which involved an surprisingly impressive number of carrier operations, while the second covers "The Pacific Navies" from December of 1941 through February of 1943 and the third from then through the end of the war. The text provides a concise, usually adequate account of each operation or series of operations, with summaries of ships involved, aircraft inventories, strategic and tactical setting, objectives, and outcomes.

A valuable work for anyone with an interest in the Second World War at sea.
