It solidly covers the evolution of the IJNAF's organisation, doctrine and tactics between the wars and assesses the air arm's strengths and weaknesses as at the opening of the Pacific War. The book is a high level view only, there are no detailed histories of squadrons, etc. And there is only a single section covering how the force fared (generally) in the Pacific War and why. So if the intention is to understand the back story to one of the main air arms sitting on the map on turn 1 of the GC, this book makes a very good read. I also found it an excellent reference to return to at times when reading other accounts of various Pacific aerial battles and wondering what may have been behind some particular Japanese decision making.
