Another great "In Action" book. New one, not the one I had before or even an updated edition. Profiles, detail shots, development and service history, etc.

Captain Dann is to be congratulated on a great step forward from Squadron Signal Profiles to an in-depth and comprehensive aircraft history. This book along with a few others published by Mr. Ginter are becoming aircraft books instead of the typical Naval Fighters monograph. And this has been accomplished using the typical Naval Fighters (NF) format. About the only thing missing was the typical large quantity of pen and ink drawings of major details that are usually found within the NF series. Of course, the one time I want one showing the landing gear and it's operation.....it's missing from the book! (Mr. Ginter, fix that in the 2nd edition, and I'll buy it!)
This is undoubtedly the finest available work on the F2A. There is plenty for the history buffs, the train spotters (S/N freaks.), and the modelers. For those looking for combat history, you will not be disappointed. In fact, I believe Captain Dann may have fleshed out the unit/export operators history section a little more than is the norm for NF to include excerpts from the after action reports.
I highly suggest that readers pay particular attention the requirements laid on by BuAer and the other customers and track the corresponding increase in weight. This book illustrates why the F2A was doomed to failure and overall paints a very fair and balanced picture. I am very pleased with this purchase. (I daresay at a discounted Amazon price, this book represents a true bargain from NF.)
Unequivocally and strongly recommended for history buffs, and modelers without reservatio
