Carriers in Korea provides a definitive record of the Korean conflict including a full and detailed history of sea and air operations in South East Asia from 1950-1953. All Royal Navy and United States Navy ships are mentioned including all the carriers which saw action. This vital work of reference is enlivened by a stunning photographic content and extracts from the Squadron Diaries and Line Books, covering every day that aircraft flew into battle. A unique and absorbing book.

For Thos Of You Who Want An Actual Review,
By A Customer (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: With the Carriers In Korea (Hardcover)
For those of you who think that the section titled, "Customer Reviews" is a place to post irrelevant comments and opinions that have nothing to do with the book itself, please, please, do everyone who takes Amazon seriously a favor, and go away.
Landsdown has done an excellent job in documenting carrier and other naval operations in the Korean Conflict. The book is comprehensive, entertaining, and informative.
