A superb look at carrier aviation of all the countries who possessed shipborne naval air throughout history. And it does cover ALL naval shipborne aviation; everything from fixed wing large deck carriers; down to helicopter assault ships and hybrid ships. Just about every military action that involved shipborne airpower is discussed here; often right down to the individual strikes and strike packages that were used.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
