Summary: Corsair Aces of World War 2
Comment: Unfortunately, I feel that this volume of this outstanding series is by far the weakest of the set. As of this writing, I own and have read all 37 published volumes, so I have a lot to compare it too. The book focuses mainly on 'I was there' first-hand accounts of flying the Corsair instead of the history of the aircraft and aces that flew it. This is OK, but I was expecting more of an aces/pilots/units approach that is the mainstay of the other books in this series. Often, first-hand accounts are just that, sort of a 'this is what happened to me', while overlooking the big picture. The artwork, as usual, is the saving grace of the book. The color profiles are outstanding as always. I would recommend purchase of this volume to ensure a complete set, but couldn't really recommend it to a military aviation historian.

Summary: Great book! Lots of information and picutres!
Comment: Mark Styling and Jerry Scutts have given the air enthusiasts, historians, and Corsair buffs another one in Osprey's "Aircraft of the Aces" series. Like the others, Corsair Aces of World War 2 contains a great deal of information and carefully selected photos. It has the usual collection of excellent illustrations, particularly color prints. This book covers a much overlooked area of aviation history dealing with Corsairs in the Pacific Theater and includes our allies. This book gives these outstanding pilots their due. Perfect for US Navy, US Marine Corps, and Allied Corsair enthusiasts. It is a great book and I recommend it highly. Corsair Aces of World War 2 is well worth having for anyone interested in the exploits of Corsair fighter pilots.
