Title
The Fast Carriers: The Forging of an Air Navy,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Originally published in 1968, this now classic study is considered essential reading for its analysis of fast aircraft carrier development. It provides a fascinating record not only of the U.S. Navy's metamorphosis from a battleshiporiented to a carriercentered fleet, but also of the heated debates that took place over the changing naval strategy. With an insider's grasp of the personalities involved, awardwinning naval historian Clark G. Reynolds takes readers from the war rooms of Washington to the flight decks of the Pacific. He vividly describes the battles over the concept of fast carriers between the air admirals and battleship admirals and offers littleknown details gleaned from personal interviews and private diaries.
