One thought on “pearl_harbor_michael_clark_german_planes-500×800”
At least part of the image is accurate. The lower left 1/6th of the cover shows the Avocet (VP-4) at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The ship was in dark and light gray camouflage. I suspect that image was ‘borrowed’ from the Naval History and Heritage Command.
Reassuringly, on Amazon, at least, a number of reviewers rated the book 1-star, the lowest possible, due to that cover.
One 4-star reviewer commented, “Great cover. Historical accuracy is amazing.” But, this had to be tongue-in-cheek since the review was entitled, “Was it Over When the Germans Bombed Pearl Harb?”
