The Kamikaze Hunters
This book deals with the little known story of British aircraft carrier operations against the Japanese in the later part of the war in the Pacific.
Based in Sydney, the British Pacific Fleet comprised of up to five carriers and over 100 support vessels with around 250 aircraft carrying out combat operations. One interesting fact touched upon is that within a couple of weeks of the Japanese surrender the US cancelled Lend/Lease agreements which resulted in around 1000 aircraft being dumped at sea, mainly Corsairs and Avengers. Some, maybe even many of these were off the Australian east coast. The Kamikaze Hunters Will Iredale Macmillan ISBN 978-0-230-76819-2 HB ISBN 978=1-4472-8471-0 TBP David
