This classic study is considered essential reading for its analysis of fast aircraft carrier development in WWII. It provides a fascinating record not only of the US Navy's metamorphosis from a battleship-oriented to a carrier-centred fleet, but also of the heated debates that took place over the changing naval strategy. With an insider's grasp of the famous individuals involved, Clark G. Reynolds takes readers from the war rooms of Washington to the flight decks of the Pacific.
