Excellent Overview of the Val
This is an excellent primer on the Val -- through its development, initial use in China, and during the first six months of the Pacific War.

Eagerly awaiting Volume 2
The D3A is one of the Pacific War's \"usual suspects\" that's always mentioned but seldom examined.

OK as far as it goes
I bought the book mainly for the color profiles as a guide to building a model of the Val.
