Summary
Operation Storm reveals Japan's secret plan to deploy massive I-400 class submarines during World War II. These revolutionary underwater aircraft carriers were designed to launch surprise aerial attacks on strategic targets, including the Panama Canal and American cities. Author John Geoghegan chronicles this ambitious yet little-known Japanese naval operation that could have altered the war's outcome. The book details the submarines' innovative design, their mission planning, and why the operation ultimately failed to materialize as intended. It's a compelling account of naval engineering and military strategy during the Pacific War.
