This is the first full account of naval aviation in action in Vietnam. Experts Polmar and Mersky trace the employment of such famous fighter and attack aircraft as the thoroughbred F-8 Crusader, the workhorse F-4 Phantom, and the sturdy A-4 Skyhawk from catapult launch to target engagement. During ten years of fierce fighting, American naval aviation took the war to the enemy in the North and supported allied forces in the South---steadily, professionally, and courageously.
