About this product
Product Information
Published to coincide with the centennial celebration of U.S. Navy Aviation, this book chronicles Navy aviation from its earliest days, before the Navy's first aircraft carrier joined the fleet, through the modern jet era marked by the introduction of the F-18 Hornet. It tells how naval aviation got its start, profiles its pioneers, and explains the early bureaucracy that fostered and sometimes inhibited its growth. The book then turns to the refinement of carrier aviation doctrine and tactics and the rapid development of aircraft and carriers, highlighting the transition from propeller-driven aircraft to swept wing jets in the period after WW II. Land-based Navy aircraft, rotary-wing aircraft and rigid airships, and balloons are also considered in this sweeping tribute.

". . . A balanced and entertaining intellectual analysis from which we (in the UK) could draw many a contemporary lesson." -- The Naval Review , August 2011, "By focusing on organizational, policy, and technical issues rather than simply producing yet another hagiographic combat history, editor Smith and his team of authors have produced a long-overdue book. The essay on naval aviation in Korea and Vietnam, written by Gary Ohls, is a particularly fine one. Overall a very valuable and welcome work, with particular appeal for military professionals, scholars, students, and enthusiasts, but for curious laypeople as well. Highly recommended." -- Choice , August 2011, By focusing on organizational, policy, and technical issues rather than simply producing yet another hagiographic combat history, editor Smith and his team of authors have produced a long-overdue book.
