Weapons and Bases

January 29th, 2009

Hi!
I have three issue on which I would like your input.

1. I am searching for a good book (or plural, whatever is possible) on US Navy
bases, especially Pearl Harbor and advanced bases in the Pacific such
as Majuro,
Ulithi, Espiritou Santo, etc.
2. Also, I’m looking for a book on naval weapons of the WWII area.
I’ve tried to
find something, but no luck.
3. How high is one to rate Japanese carrier fighter pilot ability as
opposed to
US pilot ability? From reading Lundstrom “The First Team”, I get the
impression
that the fighters were not the equal of their bomber friends, but is that so?

Thanks,
Tim
