I am reading "How Carriers Fought" by Lars Celander. All about the how it was done.
Part I is Carrier Operations, with 9 chapters; Navigation and Communication, Flight Operations, Aircraft Carried, Finding the Enemy, Detecting Incoming Strikes, Aerial Attacks, Defending Against Aerial Attack, Fighter Direction, and Logistics (interesting statistic here; the IJN consumed over 12 million tons of oil during the war, which was the US production of 2 weeks).
Part II is Carrier Battles of World War II, with 9 chapters; Early Scouting and Raiding by Carriers, Battle of the Coral Sea, Battle of Midway, Operation Pedestal, Battle of the Eastern Solomons, Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands, Battle of the Philippine Sea, Battle of Leyte Gulf, and Carrier Operations in a Larger Context.
Part III is The art and Evolution of Carrier Operations, with another 9 chapters; Combat Models, Concentration vs. Dispersion, Fighters vs. Bombers, Battleships vs. Carriers, Armored Flight Deck vs. Size of Air Group, Effectiveness of Heavy AA Guns, World war II Carrier Design Revisited, The Art of Carrier Operations, and Evolution of Carrier Operations.
Highly recommended for this group.
