"A Glorious Day in Our History"
One of the best WWII Pacific War History books concentrating primarily on aviation is "A Glorius Page in our History" ISBN 0-929521-40-4
This is the most complete telling of the Battle of Midway I have found. Every page is full of period photographs and stories of the ships, aircraft, and the men who fought the battle on the US side ... both from the two islands (Sand and Eastern) of Midway and on the three US carriers involved. The page size of the book is large (8 1/2 by 11) and the paper high quality. So the photgraphs are vivid and the descriptions and diagrams compelling.
Since the battle was totally fought with aircraft, the book is also treasure trove of facts and interesting first person accounts of the failures and successes of each of the many types of aircraft engaged ... and the tactics (and luck) utilized by each during the battle. All extensively documented with photographs of the equipment and the personnel involved, and with maps and diagrams to illustrate the several twists and turns of the battle and its outcome.
For example, this is the first account I have found that relates, in graphic detail, the real reason that LCDR John Waldron took his Torpedo Eight Squadron off on a divergent course that led to their being the first carrier aircraft to find and attack the Japanese (without fighter or bomber assistance) ... and which resulted in the loss of all but one man in the squadron.
But beyond the interesting accounts of the battle history, the book also addresses the history of the Midway Atoll itself, from its discovery in the 19th century, through the battle and subsequent further utilization during WWII, and leading up to its current status as a wildlife refuge.
All in all, a great read ... and a must have for anyone interested in the history of military aviation or the war in the pacific.
