A study of the historic World War II naval battle, the first involving aircraft carriers and first in which neither warship was in sight of the other.By the beginning of May 1942, five months after the Pearl Harbor attack, the US Navy was ready to challenge the Japanese moves in the South Pacific. When the Japanese sent troops to New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, the Americans sent the carriers Lexington and Yorktown to counter the move, setting the stage for the Battle of the Coral Sea . . . In this book,historian Robert C. Stern analyzes the Battle of the Coral Sea, the first major fleet engagement where the warships were never in sight of each other. Unlike the Battle of Midway, the Battle of the Coral Sea has received remarkably little study. Stern covers not only the action of the ships and their air groups but also describes the impact of this pivotal engagement. His analysis looks at the short-term impact as well as the long-term implications, including the installation of inert gas fuel-system purging on all American aircraft carriers and the push to integrate sensor systems with fighter direction to better protect against enemy aircraft.The essential text on the first carrier air campaign, Scratch One Flattop is a landmark study on an overlooked battle in the first months of the United States’ engagement in World War II.“His research into sources on both sides is exhaustive and he has used Japanese translators where necessary and appropriate to best illuminate materials. His effort has taken years of meticulous scholarship and it shows. . . . Highly recommended.” —Lisle A. Rose, The Northern Mariner / Le marin du nord

Scratch One Flattop is an excellent historical account of one of the lesser known, but very critical, battles of World War 2. The author very clearly worked exhaustively and painstakingly to find and include both the major features, and many minor details, of the events. Of special interest to me is the enlightening way he traces the prelude to the battle, as far back as 1905. He explains much that I had never known before, about how the Japanese first began their expansion from a medieval navy of “wood and canvas,” to the floating steel fortresses that dominate the oceans today.I rate the book as four stars rather than five, due not to any deficiency by the author, but for two personal preferences of my own. One of them is that I find the details, at times, too overwhelming, well suited for a scholarly historian, less so for a WW2 history junkie like myself. The other quibble I have, again a personal thing, is that I believe no history of WW2 should exclude an account of the unimaginable cruelty that the aggressors inflicted on innocent, helpless populations. The Japanese were not outdone in this regard by the Nazis.On the whole, I strongly recommend Scratch One Flattop. It fills a much needed gap in the telling of the history of the Pacific War. Hundreds of Americans (and Allied sailors) died in the Battle of the Coral Sea, many in ignominious ways (such as dying of thirst in life rafts, dying as prisoners of war, etc). They should be remembered and honored.
