The subtitle says this is "A Definitive Account", and it certainly is! The book goes into very extensive detail about various pilot's experiences, often quoting their after-action reports. I'm retired Air Force, so I love airplanes and flight, and the Corsair is one of my favorite planes, but there is a limit! It finally wore me out. The book is 480 pages long. I finally gave up after 355 and posted it.
