A detailed and comprehensive study of the carrier formations of the Pacific War, including their origins, development, and key battles from the Coral Sea, through Midway and Guadalcanal to the battle of the Philippine Sea.

The defining feature of the Pacific Theater of World War II was the clash of carriers that ultimately decided the fate of nations. The names of the battles become legendary as some of the most epic encounters in the history of naval warfare. Pre-war assumptions about the impact and effectiveness of carriers were comprehensively tested in early war battles such as Coral Sea, while US victories at Midway and in the waters around Guadalcanal established the supremacy of its carriers. The US Navy's ability to adapt and evolve to the changing conditions of war maintained and furthered their advantage, culminating in their comprehensive victory at the battle of the Philippine Sea, history's largest carrier battle, which destroyed almost the entire Japanese carrier force.

Examining the ships, aircraft, and doctrines of both the Japanese and US navies and how they changed during the war, Mark E. Stille shows how the domination of American carriers paved the way towards the Allied victory in the Pacific.

The narrator has a very annoying breathing pattern that is distracting for the listener. There must be a technical solution to edit it out

Narrator’s annoying breathing

After every couple of sentences the narrator takes a weird short inhale. Like he’s sniffing crack or something. Totally annoying. How did this get released to the public?? Refund please.

What’s up with the narrator’s weird inhale??

I enjoyed the book, I learned a lot. Just shows you’re never to old to learn that I was unaware of

Good history review

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
my only real complaint is I wish these folks who narrate these audio books would take the time to learn how to
correctly pronounce the names of the characters, places and ships in the books.
This is so annoying and disrespectful.
I have over 400 Audible Audio Books, most are just fine others are difficult to listen to simply because of this issue.
I ask as loyal member of your service
please address this.

thank you,
Mike

great info

Great operational focus, with tactical details that acknowledges the weakness of some American admirals. The narrator took sharp breaths every sentence and had some pronunciation missteps.

Great book, poor narration
