Small quarto, 184 pages with numerous illustrations (many from photographs, many in colour,including aircraft profiles and other illustrations by Michael Claringbould). Colour pictorial card covers; a fine copy. 'This third volume of Solomons Air War ch…ronicles aerial warfare throughout the Solomons theatre during the months of November and December 1942. It can be read alone or as part of the ongoing Solomons Air War series. At the start of November 1942, the American position on Guadalcanal was precarious. Cactus Air Force had suffered extremely high attrition in October and virtually all available reserves had been drawn on, while the damaged USS Enterprise was the only carrier that could lend assistance. Against this environment the Japanese continued to wage a savage air war and determined to try to wipe out Cactus Air Force through battleship bombardments. At the same time they rolled the dice with the largest yet Tokyo Express convoy. Hence the Americans were pushed to the brink as the frenzied activity known as the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal played out over 12-15 November. Following this Japanese command was forced to admit that it couldn't supply their troops on Guadalcanal and began to focus on building a new airfield at Munda. In response American bombers returned to Henderson Field and took the fight north to Munda and beyond for the remainder of 1942. This period saw new tactics being trialled, including the use of P-38s as long-range escort fighters and the first PBY-5A Black Cat missions. Meanwhile Cactus Air Force both expanded and diversified, gaining P-40s, B-26s, OS2U Kingfishers and RNZAF Hudsons.This chronicle has been written using primary Allied and Japanese sources, to give a fresh, factual and highly detailed account of all aspects of the complex Solomons air campaign' (blurb).

Small quarto, 192 pages with numerous illustrations (many in colour, including a number of aircraft profiles and a map). Colour-pictorial card covers; a fine copy. 'This second volume of Solomons Air War chronicles aerial warfare in the Solomon Islands…theatre during the critical month of October 1942 . October 1942 saw an explosion of air activity in the Solomons. During the first three weeks of the month busy Tokyo Express destroyer runs landed thousands of IJA troops on Guadalcanal in advance of a new offensive to be launched against the US Marine garrison. This was presaged by a brutal battleship bombardment of Henderson Field and daily air raids against the same target. Against this background Cactus Air Force was fighting for its life and was very nearly exhausted. Somehow just enough replacement F4Fs and SBDs were scraped together from the New Hebrides to keep it in business . In the middle of the month an enormously powerful IJN force arrived in the theatre, based around five aircraft carriers. This force threatened to overwhelm the USN which at the time had only one carrier in the South Pacific, the USS Hornet. However, the timely arrival of the USS Enterprise evened the ledger and so ensued the fourth carrier battle of the Pacific War, the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands, fought over 25-27 October. This chronicle has been written using primary Allied and Japanese sources, to give a fresh, factual and highly detailed account of all aspects of the complex Solomons air campaign' (rear cover blurb).

Small quarto, 248 pages with numerous illustrations (many in colour, including a number of aircraft profiles and a map). Colour-pictorial card covers; a fine copy. 'This first volume of Solomons Air War chronicles aerial warfare in the opening phase of…the war in the Solomons Islands theatre, being the critical period of August-September 1942. After occupying the Solomon Islands capital of Tulagi with ease in May 1942, the Imperial Japanese Navy commenced building an airfield on the adjacent island of Guadalcanal. The indispensable airfield was over 600 miles distant from their main base of Rabaul and promised to extend the reach of their aircraft into the Allied occupied island chains of Fiji, the New Hebrides and New Caledonia. Much was at stake and the airfield would be held at all costs.Then, in early August 1942 a bold American invasion of both Tulagi and Guadalcanal caught the IJN completely off guard. Nevertheless, Japanese air power responded swiftly and in some cases desperately. So began the knife-edge struggle for Guadalcanal' (rear cover blurb).
