Description: CARRIER: A Century of First-Hand Accounts of Naval Operations in War and Peace by Jean Hood, editor. NEW First Edition unstated hardcover, 2010. The history of the aircraft carrier, one of the most revolutionary innovations in naval warfare, is explored here in vivid detail. Featuring firsthand accounts by carrier crews and their naval air squadrons, this authoritative volume provides compelling insight into what life was like for the men who served on these huge ships, and embraces the entire carrier story, from the earliest experiments in launching planes at sea, to the Falklands War and beyond. Using contacts from several navies, extracts from archived memoirs, official reports and published material, Jean Hood covers the full range of carrier experience, a century of vivid eye-witness accounts by the crews who manned them. Told by all ranks, from stokers and admirals to air fitters and pilots, the stories range from dramatic accounts of combat, accidents and rescues to humanitarian missions and amusing anecdotes of life on board in war and peace. With its focus on the human aspects of carrier life and naval aviation, this wide-ranging anthology will appeal to veterans, serving personnel, historians and general readers.
