Not the best but OK, 2008-11-03
As the second volume in this series it is mis-named. It only float planes and one flying boat that were carried on ships other than aircraft carriers.

My comments from my review of the first volume also apply here.

Also and this applies to both volumes, the lack of using the nicknames of the Japanese aircraft as used by the Allies during WW2 is a mystery. Even many Japanese publications use the common nicknames next to the model number.

In both volumes more space is given to the ships the aircraft served on than the aircraft themselves.

Bottom line, OK if you are just starting out or are searching for squadron markings but if you are looking for detailed info on aircraft you aren't going to find it here. These books are not about aircraft but more about the ships that carried the aircraft. No actual photos either of ships or aircraft in either volume.

worth the money, 2008-06-28
I PURCHASED THIS BOOK WITHOUT READING THE REVIEWS OF THIS AUTHOR'S OTHER BOOKS.I AM GLAD I DID NOT LISTEN BECAUSE THIS BOOK IS VERY INTERESTING.NO IT IS NOT A DETAILED BOOK WITH AIRCRAFT MARKING AND COLOR SCHEMES.IF THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR YOU.HOWEVER, THERE ARE MANY UNIT MARKINGS OF THE AIRCRAFT FROM ALL THE JAPANESE NAVY CARRIERS FROM AKAGI TO HIYO WHICH YOU DO NOT SEE ANYWHERE,LEAST NOT IN ENGLISH.SO I WOULD SAY THIS BOOK IS WORTH HAVING IN YOUR LIBRARY IF YOU HAVE AN INTEREST IN THE IMPERIAL JAPANESE NAVY.
