Description

Martin W. Bowman (au). The US has commercial, political & social interests on every continent. To protect them, the US has come to rely on its fleet of aircraft carriers & the squadrons of aircraft aboard. This book looks at the developments that have taken place to US Navy flying since Pearl Harbor. Towards the end of WW2, America had control of the Pacific & had improved the science of naval flying dramatically. Soon after, in both the Korean & Vietnam Wars, the US military would rely heavily on carriers to fight those wars on the opposite side of the Pacific. Now armed with supersonic fighters & bombers, reconnaissance, tanking & rescue aircraft, a US carrier can fight a war alone. Over 100 striking full-color photos.
