Coral Sea 1942

THE BATTLE OF THE CORAL SEA IS UNIQUE IN THE ANNALS OF NAVAL HISTORY. IT IS THE FIRST BATTLE IN WHICH ENEMY FLEETS NEVER CAME WITHIN SIGHT OF ONE ANOTHER. INSTEAD, AIRCRAFT LAUNCHED FROM CARRIER DECKS WERE SENT OUT TO ATTACK THE ENEMY WITH BOMBS AND TORPEDOES. USING THE LATEST RESEARCH AND NUMEROUS PERIOD PHOTOGRAPHS, RETIRED USN COMMANDER MARK O. STILLE TELLS THE STORY OF THIS IMPORTANT AND UNIQUE BATTLE IN THE PACIFIC WAR.
