Agree, a theatre and is rarely mentioned in terms of the FAA. Excellent book, highly recommended.

Read this a couple of week's back, absolutely corking read about a bit of the war the podcast doesn't mention too often, and hasn't been mentioned too much at the three WHW fests I've been to. The FAA in the Pacific theatre.
