USN Carriers vs IJN Carriers: The Pacific, 1942 (Duel)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-07-21 Summary: With revealing snippets of information. ... From the full page biopic of Rear Admiral Frank Fletcher USN, we learn that this man was in charge of the US carrier force at Midway - not Spruance! Now that really is a revealing snippet of information and one which I shall now research more fully. On page 49 we have similar coverage of Vice Admiral Nagumo IJN, from which we are reminded he was in overall charge of Japanese carrier forces during three of the four carrier battles of 1942. We also learn he was an indecisive commander who never seized the initiative. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-06-28 Summary: Osprey's USN-IJN Carriers 'Duel' Scores a Direct Hit! ... Thus far my exposure to Osprey 'Duel' titles has been minimal; two titles. I rate my experience as one miss (P-51 vs. FW 190) and one hit (Firefly vs. Tiger). Mark Stille's volume on U. S. and Japanese carriers however is definitely another hit and stands as an example of what the series can/should be. Stille reviews the history and development of U.S. and Japanese carriers from their early beginnings, culminating in the four crucial engagements in 1942. His book is almost a primer on the subject, clearly and concisely ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-03-19 Summary: Clear, Concise, Insightful ... Before 1942, US naval doctrine was dominated by the battleship. After Japan's Pearl Harbor air raid, the US Navy was forced to rely primarily on carrier operations. Mark Stille's "USN Carriers vs IJN Carriers: The Pacific 1942" is a concise, clearly written analysis of these naval forces and their operations. In "Design and Development", Cmdr Stille presents the carrier doctrine, design, and construction used by the US Navy and IJN. Both navies realized that destroying the enemy's aircraft carriers was the first goal, ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | As the Pacific was escalated into the largest naval conflict in history, the role of the carrier became the linchpin of American and Japanese naval strategy as these rival vessels found themselves locked in a struggle for dominance of this critical theatre of war....more
Panther vs T-34: Ukraine 1943 (Duel)
Feature: ... ISBN13: 9781846031496; Condition: NEW; Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark. ...more
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-06-12 Summary: Arguable Comparison ... I don't think it is fair to compare German 45 tons Pz.V Panther with Russian 31 tons T-34/76 Model 43. By Soviet standards Pz.V was heavy and Pz.VI Tiger was super heavy armored vehicles. It would be more accurate to compare Panther with Russian IS-2(JS-2) and/or T-34 with German Pz.IV. The latter comparison would be more interesting since there are several different modifications of the each tank had been built during conflict from the begging and to the very end. It is arguable should Germans focus on Pz.IV mass ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-03-04 Summary: Panter vs T-34 ... Robert Forczyk did a very good job with Panther vs T-34. Easy reading, with just enough technical information to make this book worth reading. I have enjoyed all the Osprey books on Tank vs Tank series. Other's in the series are Panther vs Sherman, and Sherman Firefly vs Tiger. ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-06-24 Summary: Good Book, Incorrect outcome ... Very good book. However, the Panther's achilles heal was actually the thickness of her side armor(50mm). Her mechanical problems were remedied soon after the battle of Kursk. But whatever she may have given up in armor,her powerful KwK/42 (L/70) 7.5cm main gun more than made up for it. This gun actually had more penetrating power than the main gun on the Tiger I . The Panther could engage and destroy frontal plate armor on all T-34 versions at 2,000 meters while the Soviet counterpart had to get to 500 meters to do ...more
