World War II in the Air: The Pacific, edited by James F. Sunderman, is a 1963 survey of the air war from an American perspective. A general outline of the air war in the Pacific is provided through a series of articles written during or after the war by observers or key participants, such as Eric Severeid and Generals Henry "Hap" Arnold, George C. Kenney, and Claire L. Chennault. Introductions and historical background are provided for both the major sections and individual
articles.
The anthology is heavily slanted to coverage of Army Air Force operations, with articles about the Eleventh Air Force in Alaska and the Aleutians, Fifth Air Force in the Southwest Pacific, Fourteenth Air Force in China, and Twentieth Air Force's bombardment of Japan. Naval air battles, such as the Coral Sea and the Marianas "turkey shoot," are also mentioned. The biggest weakness of the volume is the inclusion of only two articles from the Japanese perspective. On the other hand, the book is well-illustrated and contains a useful glossary of Japanese and American aircraft used in the Pacific.
