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 World War II. The book is a companion volume to Mr. Caidin's award-winning \u003ci\u003eAir Force: A Pictorial History of American Airpower\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eGOLDEN WINGS\u003c\/em\u003e is unsurpassed in its field. It is the result of a three-year search for the best possible photographs. Mr. Caidin is the only civilian to explore the complete file of official Navy and Marine photographs in Washington. He also examined thousands of photographs from private and industrial collections. Some of the four hundred photographs included in the book are published here for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly someone who knows aircraft, pictorial design, and aviation history as well as Martin Caidin could have produced so factual, informative, and handsome a book. Photographs, captions, and the 60,000 words of text are co-ordinated in a superb layout to make GOLDEN WINGS another of Mr. Caidin's major contributions to the literature of the conquest of the air.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin Caidin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53582780170586,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/files\/IMG_8280_3376928f-e2d1-4a24-a37e-7d740352bc46.jpg?v=1770985327","url":"https:\/\/aviation.brussels\/products\/golden-wings-a-pictorial-history-of-the-united-states-navy-and-marine-corps-in-the-air","provider":"aviation.brussels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
