Review # 1 was written on 2015-01-30 00:00:00 Denzil De Sousa This coffee-table-style book chronicles the evolution of air power as the U.S. Navy's preeminent weapon of the 20th Century. Author Martin Caidin has selected b/w photographs from the history of naval aviation up to the mid-1950s. From flying boats and blimps to the rocket age, depictions include various airplane models, pilots, crewmen, battle scenes, and flight operations aboard aircraft carriers. The book touches on major battles of the WWII campaign in the Pacific. Caidin's narrative shows how U.S. military officials, while pushing for advancements in air combat capability after World War I, were stunned by even greater advancements achieved by the enemy. American pilots paid the price for the rapid pace of Japanese aircraft development and carrier tactics. However, U.S. industry and military personnel responded to the challenge by designing superior weapons and maintaining an overwhelming force bolstered by dedicated men and women.
