8/18/22 Meeting

An Evening with Jon Parshall, Co-author of Shattered Sword

Tonight Jon Parshall shares a presentation about his latest research on Point Luck and the Midway battle plan, and then generously agrees to a Q&A session with us!

Shattered Sword provides background and operational details newly focused from an Imperial Japanese Navy perspective which is critical to a multidimensional understanding of the Battle of Midway. If you haven't read it yet, this critically acclaimed (5-star reviews), must-read book is available to purchase online. 

​Club members were encouraged to share models of Pacific War, WWII carrier aviation, WWII IJN/US/RN/Commonwealth Naval, aviation, or military subjects that they have built to give Jon a peek behind the curtain of our hobby and the reason so many of us are such passionate military history buffs!
