Good read, but a bit thin
A lot of great pictures but not much technical detail. A good coffee table book but don't buy it as a reference. If you're looking for a book with more information about the technical specs of Naval aircraft I suggest "Carrier" by Tom Clancy, if you want to know what it takes to be a US Navy fighter pilot get "Bogeys and Bandits" by Robert Gandt.

This review is from: Fly Navy: Naval Aviators and Carrier Aviation: A History (Hardcover)
This is an absolutely fabulous book about carrier aviation from its first conception to modern day. It's margins are filled with lots of trivia about the aviators and aircraft. The book contains lots of picture and photographs of the first built carriers and carrier based aircraft. I enjoy just picking up the book and reading a few pages at a time. It is very easy to read and makes a wonderful coffee table book. As a naval aviator, I will cherish this book. By the way, the BEST book is U.S. Naval Aviation.
