Description
Here for the first time is a pictorial history of the United States Navy and Marine Corps in the air. It is a saga of men and machines in war and peace, and of the emergence of airpower as the dominant force in the modern Navy. The whole story is here, from the earliest beginnings to Polaris and the supercarriers, with almost half the book devoted to the Second World War.
( ... ) GOLDEN WINGS is unsurpassed in its field. It is the result of a three - year search for the best possible photographs. ( ... ) Some of the four hundred photographs included in the book are published here for the first time.
( ... ) Photographs, captions, and the 60,000 words of text are co - ordinated in a superb layout to make GOLDEN WINGS another of the author's major contributions to the literature of the conquest of the air.
