Dan Hampton - a former USAF F-16 veteran who flew F-16 Vipers in the Persian Gulf War and Operation Iraqi Freedom continues his aviation-centric histories with one of his best yet in Operation Vengeance. This is a story not just of Rex Barber's shootdown of Admiral Yamamoto, but the fierce fighting on the ground, in the seas around and in the skies over Guadalcanal that led to him being in position to avenge Pearl Harbor. You're really in for a thrilling World War II history complete with a side of thoughtful discussion about the mechanics of air combat & the morality of using force.

Very well done also on the formatting. A few small typos, but this was a Netgalley preview.

I can only wait to see what Dan would do with the 1 May 2011 mission to get Bin Laden, IF he addresses that topic. I hope to see more books from Dan like this in any event.
