Re: How 'bout a Val??

Fist From The Sky by Peter Smith is another good book.The book is about Takashige Egusa, Japans premier dive bomber pilot. Some pretty interesting reading about the IJN dive bombers.

Another great history, probably the best of that battle from the USN perspective, is John Lundstrom's "The First Team and the Guadalcanal Campaign." The original First Team book really set the standard for history when it came to Pacific Theatre Naval Air Engagements, and the First Team and the Guadalcanal Campaign is an excellent sequal.
