MacIntyre had been a writer in the field of the royal Navy of WWII, in which he served. This chance to do a survey and get the royalties led to a useful, but not particularly insightful production. ( ) This book tells the history of the aircraft carrier in World War II. It's main focus is the Pacific Theatre, though it has chapters on British Aircraft carriers also. The aircraft carrier, in 1939 mistrusted not only by the more conservative type of naval officer - the majority perhaps of the senior ranks - but by those many fanatics of air power who believed that the shore based aeroplane had made all navies redundant, became, in the course of the war, the dominating factor in naval operations. no reviews | add a review
