The book presents a concise view of the navy's fighter force in the Second World War, with some of the best photos of the planes involved that I've seen. Mr Tillman's vast knowledge of naval history and Mr. Lawson's most comprehensive photo collection make this a must for those readers with a thirst for accurate presentation. The only criticism I can offer is that I wish it had been longer, with more photos and personal accounts of some of the participants in that great conflict. But, that is covered in other Tillman works about Naval aviation. All in all, a fine read and welcome addition to a growing collection of Mr. Tillman's fine offerings. It is especially fitting, I believe, that it is dedicated to the memory of Jeff Ethell.

I received the wrong item. I received "World War II U.S. Navy Air Combat" by Robert Lawson and Barrett Tillman instead of "U.S. Navy Fighters of WWII (Enthusiast Color Series)". The "Used Good" bar-code label was for the ordered item, but was on the wrong book. Despite the error, I will keep the item.

Because of seller's quick response and their offer of a refund, I am happy with their effort to correct the `Fulfillment by Amazon' error. I am pleased with this third-party seller, GreatBuyBooks and am increasing my rating to three stars.

For a book of its size, this was very good. The pictures are excellent and the stories of the fighters themselves were just as good. Recommended for anyone interested in U.S. Naval aviation in the Second World War.
