The Naval Air War in Korea

An excellent reference book, extremely readable. Written in 1986, it is slightly dated when the author makes comments about the future trends that were to come about after the Korean War, but on the important issues, he was on the mark. The story is told chronologically, with a lot of detail and many anecdotes. The accounts of the men, the ships and the aircraft involved in the various operations is clear and interesting, and the numerous asides add much to the enjoyment of the book. Hallion also has a few statistics I haven't seen elsewhere; I wish ther were more. If you are interested in this paricular conflict, or in Naval Aviation in general, you'll get a lot out of Naval Air War in Korea.
