[Duane · Rating 4 out of 5]

The only negative thing I can say about this book is because of the year of printing, it's out of date, but otherwise this is a great resource for anyone who is interested in the history of carriers. Great illustrations and accurate resources make this a great read for anyone interested in carriers.

Suffers a lot from The Curse of Knowledge. that is, if you don't already know know about WWII and army abbreviations, it's hard to follow, but if you already have some knowledge of both, it's a great overview that will fill in the gaps of your knowledge on the development and use of aircraft from WWI to 1982.
