From World War II to the present day, the aircraft carrier has been a potent display of the might of the US Navy. The nuclear powered aircraft carriers of today are some of the largest ships afloat, woth 3,200 crew as well as 2,480 n the air wing and upwards of eighty-five aircraft aboard. The modern carriers can trace their lineage back to before World War II.

Martin Bowman tells the story of the United States Navy's carrier war through the voices of men who fought it , while continuing on through Korea, Vietnam and the Gulf Wars, to the present day. Profusely illustrated with images, nay previously unpublished, this book graphically tells the story of US Navy aircraft carriers at war and the men who sailed on and flew from these veritable floating cities.
