Description

Known as the "god of dive-bombing," Takashige Egusa was one of the Imperial Japanese Navy's most legendary pilots of World War II. In December 1941 he led an eighty-plane attack force against Pearl Harbor and, two weeks later, assaulted the American gun batteries on Wake Island. After a series of missions in the Indian Ocean, Egusa was badly burned at Midway in 1942. A warrior to the last, he returned to duty, only to be killed on a desperate raid on enemy aircraft carriers in the Marianas.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
