In 1910 the first aircraft was successfully launched from a small
wooden platform on a stationary ship. Just four years later,
seaplane-carrying warships were being used to launch the first
naval air raids, and by 1918 the first aircraft carrier to feature
a full-length flight deck was in service. High quality artwork and
historical photographs help author Mark Lardas tell the fascinating
story of the pioneering years of naval aviation, covering such
historic clashes as the Japanese siege of Tsingtao, the British
raid against German Zeppelin bases at Cuxhaven and the Battle of
Jutland, which saw the first airplane take part in a naval battle.
Through detailed analysis he explores their development from
hastily adapted merchant ships to the launch of HMS Argus, the
first aircraft carrier to have a full-length flight deck, and shows
how they paved the way for the aircraft carriers of the future.
