Most profiles are presented for the first time, alongside markings derivations, including squadron heraldry and codes.

Wide-ranging primary reference material is cited including assignment data, wreck reports, squadron records, colour photography, maintenance logs, diaries and factory markings specifications. A brief history of each unit and associated markings rationale accompanies the text.The author is world-renowned for his expertise on the Pacific air war. Never before have Pacific Mitchells and their colourful markings been illustrated with such breadth, accuracy and detail.
