This book examines the dramatic developments in U.S. Naval aviation from Pearl Harbor to present with special attention to the role of naval hardware in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, and the Balkans, etc. Now armed with supersonic fighters and bombers, reconnaissance, tanking and rescue aircraft — a US carrier can fight a war alone. Their despatch to the Gulf War and the seas off Bosnia have proved a significant strategic point and now many more countries are reverting to the fleet carrier as an important factor in foreign policy and naval requirements. All in all, a great introduction.
