Description:When America entered the World War in April, 1917, her navy air service was small and possessed only a few flying boats and float planes. There was only one navy air station, at Pensacola. The entire navy air service consisted of 48 pilots and 54 aircraft.The navy sent pilots and crew to France to contribute to the war effort. Much of their training was conducted in France, and they flew French aircraft almost exclusively. They served in two primary ways – in flying boats escorting convoys and doing anti-submarine patrol, or in land-based squadrons in air combat.In the two decades between the wars, nations developed aircraft carriers and carrier-based aviation. In the beginning, Britain led the way, with American and Japan following closely. Carrier aircraft evolved, with more powerful engines. Japan and America continued to make progress all through the period.On December 7, 1941, Japan had the strongest naval air force in the world, with ten fleet carriers, the highest quality aircraft, and highly skilled pilots, some with combat experience over China. America’s air navy was second, barely ahead of Britain’s. America had only three fleet carriers in the Pacific.From December, 1941 until June of 1942, Japan’s carrier air superiority went unchallenged, but the battles of the Coral Sea and Midway, taken together, comprised a major reversal of capability from which they never recovered. This is a historical novel which depicts how American Navy air evolved into the fighting force that ultimately became dominant over that of the Imperial Japanese Navy. It begins with the first American Navy detachment to France in 1917, and continues to the Battle of Midway.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
