Naval Air: Celebrating a Century of Naval Flying

”…helpful to a novice in the field and a good read.“– “The Northern Mariner”“This book will appeal to anyone who has an interest in an intelligent review of the origins of carrier flying and an interest in the Pearl Harbor attack, Coral Sea, and Midway.”– “The Journal of the Air Force Historical Foundation”“This is more than a history of the various aircraft. Naval Air tells the reader about the men and women who got them off the deck and flew them into a new century. The book is complemented by a collection of interesting photographs that will appeal to aviation enthusiasts.”– “Naval Historical Foundation”
