Review

"Captures the essence of today's aircraft carrier...stunning images." -- Sea Power


Product Description

Regardless of fatigue, equipment trouble, low fuel, poor weather conditions, or time of day, when a U.S. Navy pilot is on BLUE WATER OPS, the carrier is his only place to land. In catapult and recovery operations, stress on pilots, deck crew, and machinery reaches incredible levels. The sights, smells, and sounds of carrier aviation come alive in this book of spectacular photographs. 120 color photos.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful coffee-table book of Naval Air, January 19, 1999
By A Customer
A wonderful coffee-table picture book, this glossy photo-essay on the world of seagoing flight will go well in the collection of any pilot, plane nut, or weekend warrior. It's full of "National Geographic"-style photos, well composed and lovely to look at, of the shark-finned mounts of America's nautical knights of the sky. It's not the greatest ever; it lacks the gritty "you are there" reality of C.J. Heatly's "The Cutting Edge," (who, after all, really was a carrier pilot), but certainly does an acceptable job.
