Re: Chi Chi Jima incident, Japanese War Crimes

Not mention Deke Parsons and, as he was forever known in US naval aviation circles, "Nagasaki Fred" Ashworth, the "weaponeers" upon whom so much depended.

For CV ops, you may wish to take a look at Clark Reynolds' The Fast Carriers as a starting point. Can't say I always agree with him and sometimes he hauls too close to the S E Morison party line, not to mention an outrageous error or two, but for the most part a reasonable treatment of the subject. Gives a good background, anyway.
