Among the world's various military air arms, United States Marine
Corps Aviation occupies a historically unique niche. As the
aviation component of a combined-arms expeditionary force, it
exists primarily to support Marine combat forces on the ground in
the accomplishment of their amphibious assault mission. From the
"Banana Wars" of the 1920s up to the present day "War on Terror,"
Marine aviation has undergone a lengthy fine-tuning process not
only in terms of the warfare doctrines and tactics applied to its
mission, but also in the types of aircraft needed to accomplish the
mission. This work is designed to provide the reader with a
comprehensive historical survey, including technical
specifications, drawings, and photographs, of every type of fixed
and rotary-wing aircraft used by Marine aviation from its humble
origins prior to World War I all the way up to its current
operations in the second decade of the 21st Century.
