By the time these took place in early 1945, the US Navy had reached an exceptional level of coordination in its amphibious operations, and was able to overrun and subdue Japanese territories efficiently.Faced with the increasing might of these forces and to prevent further defeat, Imperial Japan deployed its kamikaze aircraft and attacked many US heavy aircraft carriers and destroyers; several were sunk, while others were knocked out of the war. This superbly illustrated book explores the air–sea aspects of the pivotal battles that took place, and includes the “death ride” of the Japanese battleship Yamato (the largest ever built), and the mass kamikaze attacks off Iwo Jima and Okinawa, as well as the Iwo Jima and Okinawa amphibious invasions and the naval and air bombardments of the two islands.It also considers the contribution of the USAAF and the British Pacific Fleet to the eventual victory of US air and ground forces.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 248mmItem Length: 184mmItem Weight: 308gAuthor: Brian Lane HerderIllustrator: Adam ToobyContributor: Adam Tooby (Illustrated by)Genre: HistoryBook Series: CampaignTopic: Military History, Law & PoliticsRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
