New Books Detail USS Enterprise, Midway Battle, Marine F-4s in Vietnam

摘要

This book may be the largest and most comprehensive history of a single warship ever written. Published soon after the December 2012 inactivation of USS Enterprise, it is a fitting memorial to the 51-year history of the renowned carrier. The book's exhaustive narrative includes histories of the design and construction of the "Big E," every deployment made and every yard period, detailing the major modifications made to the ship. The pages list the ship's air wings, squadrons and escorting ships; the air crews lost in action; and every aircraft that failed to return to its spacious flight deck. The book is lavishly illustrated with color photographs of the ship and its Sailors, aircraft and squadron insignia.
