Re: Your favourite WWII book
Thanks fsbof, I actually enjoy the slightly less dramatic books. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy reading stories like Fuchida's fateful five minuets, The plight of the Franklin and such as that, but I want to learn as much as I can about what happened! Sometimes acounts can easily be minipulated without as much direct information. I'll have to find the title but I once started reading a book that claimed Planes from a carrier commisioned in 44(IIRC) had sunk one of the Japanese carriers at Midway. I directly threw the book in the burnable trash.
