Seller's Description:
Very good in Very good jacket. Format is approximately 10 inches by 12 inches. 384 pages. Illustrations. Footnotes. Appendix A: British Aircraft Carriers. Appendix B; Aircraft Data. Appendix C. Principal Sources. Index. Heavy item. Norman Friedman, Ph.D., is an American author and naval analyst. He has written over 30 books on naval matters, and appeared on television programs on PBS and the Discovery Networks. From 1973 to 1984, he was at the Hudson Institute, becoming Deputy Director for National Security Affairs. He worked for the United States Navy as in-house consultant. From 2002 to 2004, he served as a futurologist for the United States Marine Corps. The Royal Navy invented the aircraft carrier before and during World War I. Between the wars, it introduced the armored flight deck carrier, which radially changed the capability of the carrier in combat. After World War II the Royal Navy introduced three crucial devices-the steam catapult, the angled flight deck, and the mirror landing aid-which made it possible for carriers to operate high performance jet aircraft and thus to remain competitive with land-based air forces. The Royal Navy also first demonstrated vertical take-off jet fighters at sea.

Seller's Description:
Very Good. Hardcover. 4to. Naval Institute Press, Annapolis, MD. 1989. 384 pgs. Illustrated. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. As expected, it describes in detail the early Royal Navy aircraft carrier designs, the post-WW I conversions, and the eventual armored carriers of the 1930s-early 1940s. I thought the most interesting chapters, though, were: Chapter 9 "Trade Protection" describing the escort carriers (including the American lend-lease transfers); Chapter 11 "Emergency Fleet Carriers" describing the development of the "Majestic" and "Colossus" class ships; Chapter 12 "The Last Carriers" describing the 1942 "Ark Royal / Audacious" and "Hermes" classes; and Chapter 14 "The Big Carrier: HMS Malta." EB; 11.6 X 10.1 X 1.4 inches; 384 pages.
