Offered by Over The Blue Horizon and recently obtained in Tokyo is one of the better pictorials from the incredible Futabasha 3D CG Super Detail series:  Volume 35, February 2007, “COMBINED TASK FORCE”.  

This richly illustrated book is absolutely jam-packed with incredible, large format, full-color computer-generated pictures of the first six months of operations for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) Combined Task Force, 8 December 1941 – 31 May 1942.  During this unprecedented history of naval history, the IJN Combined Fleet basically ran amok, attacking Pearl Harbor, cutting a swath through the Indian Ocean, and then engaging the American fleet at the Battle of Coral Sea.  Operations are covered in a chronological order, and the extensive use of advanced computer generated graphics is very effectively used in this publication to show the various engagements of the fleet during this period.  Just look at the scans and see for yourself!  Text is in Japanese but the amount of visual information is almost overwhelming and this book remains in high demand among advanced naval modelers
