Steady Nerves and Stout Hearts: The Enterprise (CV6) Air Group and Pearl Harbor, 7 December 1941 offers a tightly focused account of the Japanese air attack on Pearl Harbor and the crucial role played by the USS Enterprise’s carrier air group. Set against the broader outbreak of U.S. involvement in World War II, the book reconstructs operational movements and squadron-level experiences in the Pacific theater, presenting Pearl Harbor from the perspective of carrier-based aviators and illuminating pre-war and early-war U.S. Navy carrier operations that shaped the conflict to come.
Written by Robert Cressman and J. Michael Wenger (ISBN13: 9780929521251), this concise unit history doubles as a campaign study for enthusiasts of naval aviation. The volume emphasizes aircraft, aircrews, and shipboard life aboard Enterprise (CV‑6) and is presented in the style of specialized pictorial naval histories—featuring historical photographs of the Enterprise and her air group and likely including maps or diagrams that clarify movements and positions—making it a useful reference for researchers, collectors, and readers interested in World War II carrier warfare.

A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
