| 520 | |a Although Jimmy Flatley made a significant contribution to the U.S. victory of Japan, few outside the close-knit naval aviation community have heard his colorful story. "A naval hero in every sense of the word," according to former Chief of Naval Operations Adm. James L. Holloway III, Flatley was a formidable fighter pilot in combat, an inspiring leader, and a gifted operational planner. This biography examines his combination of talents and shows why he was so vital to the war effort. Known to his squadron mates at Guadalcanal as "Reaper Leader," Flatley--with Jimmie Thach and Butch O'Hare--was instrumental in communicating tactical advice throughout naval aviation and proving that, when used properly, the supposedly inferior F4F Wildcat fighter was actually superior to the Japanese Zero. His biographer, Steve Ewing, also explains how Flatley's combat experience established the credibility necessary for a middle-grade officer to initiate sweeping changes ion naval aviation, both at the front and with the entrenched naval establishment. The author credits Flatley's persistence and credibility for impacting strategic as well as tactical decision off the Philippines, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. In postwar years these same qualities helped him effect important changes in naval aviation safety. Part of a planned trilogy on carrier fighter tacticians in the Pacific war, this biography follows the study of O'Hare and precedes Dr. Ewing's work on Admiral Thach. -- Inside jacket flap | ||
