Stackpole Books, Pennsylvania 1995. 144 pp. including index. On November 11, 1940, a British aircraft carrier launched its torpedo bombers on a sneak attack on the Italian fleet anchored in the heavily defended port of Taranto. The Italian fleet was heavily damaged, and its morale was shaken. Among those examining the attack was Japanese admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, who had similar plans of his own This short book examines the attack on Taranto, all the while showing how that attack influenced the later attack on Pearl Harbor. Along the way, the author treats the reader to a history of aircraft carriers, torpedoes, the Italian and Japanese navies, and just about everything pertinent to a full understanding of the two attacks. After the Taranto chapters, there is another examining the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Battle of Midway. The eight(!) appendices cover such topics as British naval aviation, the raid on Bomba, Libya, the names of the British flight crews at Taranto, and much more.The author takes a World War 2 episode that is largely overlooked in many history books, examines it in depth, and makes the whole thing fascinating to read. The book does include a number of great black-and-white pictures that really add to the text. We pack our books properly and ship daily from the UK.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - On November 11, 1940, 21 slow, canvas-covered British warplanes, launched from the carrier Illustrious, attacked the harbor at the Italian port of Taranto and put most of the Italian navy out of commission. This all-but-forgotten operation, the authors argue, deserves historical recognition as an inspirational precedent for the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor 13 months later. Taranto demonstrated that battleships in a shallow, heavily defended harbor could be sunk by a handful of torpedo-bombers. That lesson Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto, commander-in-chief of the Japanese fleet, learned well-while the American military virtually ignored it."By this single stroke the balance of naval power in the Mediterranean was decisively altered." Winston S. Churchill. …

hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. First Edition. Publication: Mechanicsburg, Stackpole Books, 1995 Formatting: 8vo, pp. [xiv], 143. Condition Report: Near Fine. The binding is exceptionally sharp and sound, featuring pristine dark grey paper-covered boards and a vibrant, unfaded yellow cloth spine that retains its original tightness. The corners remain perfectly crisp, displaying an absolute absence of bumping or shelf-wear. Internally, the text block is square and rigid, and the pages are remarkably bright, clean, and completely free from foxing, handling marks, or previous ownership signatures. The original unclipped dust jacket is similarly well-preserved, exhibiting excellent colour retention and only the most microscopic hints of edge-wear to the spine extremities, ensuring a highly presentable and collectible copy. Catalogue Note: This copy is a true first edition, first printing, as confirmed by the complete number line '10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1' present on the copyright page. It is presented in its original quarter-cloth over boards binding. The text is supplemented with a detailed map of the Taranto harbour by Group Captain J. F. W. Pembridge, enhancing the tactical analysis of the raid. While the title itself remains a relatively common fixture on the open market, locating a true first printing in such immaculate, seemingly unread condition is an excellent discovery for the World War II naval collector. The Attack on Taranto delivers a meticulous and thrilling account of the daring British naval operation that permanently altered the course of World War II. In November 1940, a small squadron of obsolete Fairey Swordfish biplanes launched from HMS Illustrious under the cover of darkness, devastating the Italian fleet moored in Taranto harbour and shifting the balance of naval power in the Mediterranean. Co-authored by Dr. Thomas P. Lowry and Commander John W. G. Wellham; a Fleet Air Arm pilot who personally participated in the very raid he describesâ"this narrative blends intense frontline action with sweeping strategic analysis. The authors convincingly demonstrate how this pioneering strike was closely studied by Japanese strategists, ultimately serving as the unmistakable blueprint for the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor a year later.
