Advance Praise for Pacific Payback "Deeply researched and
well-written, Pacific Payback is by far the most detailed account
of U.S.S. Enterprise's dive-bombers, and their decisive role at the
Battle of Midway."--Jonathan Parshall, co-author of Shattered
Sword: The Untold Story of the Battle of Midway "In the early naval
battles in the Pacific, the U.S. carriers took the fight to the
enemy. Their most effective weapon was the Douglas SBD Dauntless
dive bomber. At Midway the SBDs destroyed four carriers and
arguably turned the tide of the War against Japan. Their individual
stories, however, remain largely untold. Stephen L. Moore's Pacific
Payback relates the experiences of the Enterprise SBDs beginning
with the attack on Pearl Harbor up to Midway and covers all the
carrier dive bombers in that decisive battle. This heartfelt
tribute to the SBD pilots and radiomen offers much new information
and is a valuable contribution to the history of the Pacific
War."--John B. Lundstrom, author of The First Team "In bringing
this story to the public, Stephen Moore has done a service to the
courageous fliers of Scouting Squadron Six and Bombing Squadron
Six. These men piloted the Douglas Dauntless dive bombers from the
decks of the noble Enterprise, often entering battle despite being
outnumbered. Their bravery during the war's first six months, when
the nation needed heroes, should long occupy a premier spot in our
nation's history."--John F. Wukovits, author of For Crew and
Country and One Square Mile of Hell
