Overall, it is still a good book.
A little more variety in the character designs would help make that a little easier. Humor is put in to keep the reader amused from time to time. First, none of the characters really stand out. While the USS Lexington is only briefly mentioned (as being ABSENT from Pearl Harbor during the bombing) I felt like this book gave me excellent context for my visit and a greater appreciation of what aircraft carriers and all the other boatsThis is the first of Nathan Hale's hazardous tales that I've read. Hale combines history, humor, and ripping adventure with each and every volume and this one does not disappoint.
Still looking forward to wherever they take us next, though.
I had never heard of this raid before (at least, I have no recollection of hearing of this raid).The Hazardous Tales series is the series I use when kids say that nonfiction is boring AND when teachers say that graphic novels aren’t complex because this series, and this book, is complex, interesting, well crafted, funny, and just everything you’d want from any book, much less a nonfiction graphic novel.The Hazardous Tales series is the series I use when kids say that nonfiction is boring AND when teachers say that graphic novels aren’t complex because this series, and this book, is complex, interesting, well crafted, funny, and just everything you’d want from any book, much less a nonfiction graphic novel.Nathan Hale does a wonderful job at retelling the story that started World War II.

I also think the author does an excellent job trying to look at the events in the book from both a Japanese and an American perspective, but it's a really complex subject. [Amazing that one of the pilots was still alive at age 101 when the book was written. This book, however, kept me reading till the very end.

Start by marking “Raid of No Return” as Want to Read: My son is really into WWII planes because of the video game WarThunder, so he especially enjoyed it. I'm not used to feeling disappointed by these books, but I am this time. I particularly like the spreads on 20-21 and 22-23 that show the layout of Pearl Harbor and the US casualties.

I don't think we even learned their names until a handful of them died, and those deaths meant less because we only got their names then. No one in the armed forced had done anything like this raid before, and none of the volunteers expected to escape with their lives. A movie was made about this event, 30 Seconds Over Tokyo and a display was created for the courageous men who served on this mission. While the event is nonfiction, there is no way to know exactly what was said by what person when, so it's been fictionalized. Don't get me wrong, the Very American Viewpoint is EXACTLY what was going on in this country during WWII, especially after Pearl Harbor, so I think it's appropriate, I'm just uncomfortable.
