DJ is worn torn soiled and heavily chipped/portions missing. History Of Military Aircraft Carriers And Their Use In Wartime. Most of the narrative addresses the Second World War. However there is also pertinent information and discussion on the Korean War war of national liberation Indochina/VIetnam and other situations such as the Suez Canal Crisis Of 1956 etc. Norman Polmar is a prominent author specializing in the naval aviation and intelligence areas. He has led major projects for the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Navy and foreign governments. His professional expertise has served three Secretaries of the U.S. Navy and two Chiefs of Naval Operations. He is credited with 50 published books including nine previous editions of Ships and Aircraft of the U.S. Fleet and four editions of Guide to the Soviet Navy. Polmar writes a column for Proceedings and was editor of the United States and several other sections of the annual publications of Jane's Fighting Ships. In 2019 the Naval Historical Foundation awarded Polmar the Commodore Dudley W. Knox Naval History Lifetime Achievement Award. A complete history of the aircraft carrier has long been needed tying together all the loose strings of aircraft operations at sea—the towed flying-off barges of World War I the antisubmarine hunter-killer groups of World War II the air support missions in the many post-1945 "limited wars" the attempts of continental navies "to fly" and the ship and aircraft types that evolved over these years of both war and "peace." Aircraft Carriers fulfills this need in the literature of 20th century naval history. So thorough is Mr. Polmar's research that the book is almost encyclopedic in its coverage though following a general and very useful chronological approach. The photographs and diagrams are excellent and complement the text extremely well. Between the large amount of data and the many illustrations Aircraft Carriers should become the standard reference work on the subject of the ships that have carried flying machines and the machines that have done the flying. The book is straight narrative history packed with technical details about the carriers and planes. If the reader has any doubt of this from reading the text he will find much of the data repeated in the captions to the photographs. For backup many of the ship statistics are again repeated in the appendices. The aviation enthusiast will find satisfaction in such facts as the relative rates of climb of the F4F-3 Wildcat and the F2A-2 Buffalo. It is this detail though that makes the book an indispensable reference work. Polmar pulls together all existing information about carrier aviation after 1945 the first writer to have done this in a thorough manner performing a service for which all future naval historians of this period will be indebted to him. And thus we have the chief merit of this masterwork: the first 60 years of carrier aviation history are finally between two book covers. Aircraft Carriers is then a thoroughly-researched meticulous exhaustive and encyclopedic work crammed with useful information statistics and photographs. It is a big book about a very big subject. Its overall message might be summed up by non-aviator "Thirty-One Knot" Burke's alleged remark after watching Task Force 58 pound the Hollandia beaches in April 1944: "The airplane is here to stay!" To which Norman Polmar has added "so long as the carrier is there to provide it with a deck!". Doubleday hardcover
