The complete story of the Aircraft Carrier to 1979.,
By Ned Middleton (British professional underwater photo-journalist & author) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Aircraft Carriers (Hardcover)
This author is an acknowledged expert on Ships - especially naval ships and this is one of his best works. It tells the complete story of the Aircraft Carrier from their humble origins in WW1 right up to 1979.
Using some incredible historic photographs - many of which I had not previously seen, this book would have scored the full 5 Star rating had it not been 25 years out of date. Nevertheless, there is still a lot to learn from this excellent work. NM

By Dalton C. Rocha (Fortaleza, CE, Brazil.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Aircraft Carriers (Hardcover)
I read a translation of this regular book, here in Brazil.
This book has six chapters. The first chapter is about aircraft carriers until 1970 decade. This book has come advantages: 1- Its text is very easy to understand. 2- Has many photos. The majority are black & white photos. Many photos with color too. More than 70% of the book's space are photos. 3- This book is very short and concise. Problems with this book: 1- It ends in the first years of the 1970 decade. This book is more than thirty years outdated now. 2- I didn't found enough text on it. 3- The maps are few and a little weak. |
