The Imperial Japanese Navy was a pioneer in naval aviation; having commissioned the world's first built-from-the-keel-up carrier; the Hosho. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s; it experimented with its carriers; perfecting their design and construction. As a result; by the time Japan entered World War II and attacked the United States at Pearl Harbor in 1941; it possessed a fantastically effective naval aviation force. This book covers the design; development and operation of IJN aircraft carriers built prior to and during World War II. Pearl Harbor; Midway and the first carrier vs carrier battle; the battle of the Coral Sea; are all discussed.
