.. i didn't like the way it's organized. for each major navy (US,UK and Japan), the author writes the story of the evolution of its own carrier project. so the reader goes into the 20s, the 30s and the 40s three times. i'd have probably liked a more time-based approach, maybe with sidebars or other ways of diving into each navy peculiarities, instead.
anyway, the book is very interesting and explains very well the trial and error process that generated the carriers that fought WWII. i'd like to read a follow-up to this book, going from 1945 to present time.
