Aircraft Carriers: A History of Carrier Aviation and Its Influence on World Events

摘要

Few ships are as awe inspiring as the aircraft carrier. To say "it's big" does not do the carrier jus-rntice. The vast amount of military might contained in this one ship, let alone its size, is simply staggering. It is only appropriate that an author with a reputation as impressive as that of the aircraft carrier take on the task of revising and updating the previous edition of this book. After reading Aircraft Carriers, I can say that Norman Polmar was the right man for the job. An internationally known specialist in naval, aviation, and technical intelligence issues, with over 40 books to his credit and service as a consultant or adviser to three secretaries of the Navy and two chiefs of naval operations, Polmar comes well prepared for the task.
