It is nothing more than a collection of letters written by John “Jack” Homer Woolsey from April 2, 1943 to October 1, 1945 presented in chronological order. After reading it I would state that it would be an average and very general go …

Without even reading the back cover from the moment you pick up the book you know it …

Fleets without air cover are nothing but fish in a barrel as for example the British proved at Taronto, the Japanese proved with the Prince of Wales …
