Description
This book tells the fascinating story of American naval aviation from its origins in Hampton Roads to its impact on world events. Much of the story is told in the aviators own words, because the author conducted hundreds of interviews, from admiral to airman, to capture the unique flavour of this challenging profession. In the end, the naval aviation community told their own story in action, deeds, and in the volumes of words they shared and which have been captured in more than 360 pages of show more text and more than 625 photographs arid illustrations, 80 in colour. show lessTags
