This vivid volume describes the fascinating history of aircraft

Imperial Russian Navy, and indispensable to the Allied victory in
World War II, now the strategic centerpiece of the world's most
powerful navies. From their World War I deployment in the Black Sea
by the Imperial Russian Navy, to their coming of age in World War
II, to their role in recent conflicts in Vietnam, the Falklands,
and the Persian Gulf, Aircraft Carriers: An Illustrated History of
Their Impact charts the evolution of carrier systems both
militarily and within broader political and diplomatic contexts.
Covering both the ships and the planes they support, this
convenient, authoritative handbook offers complete descriptions of
carrier systems from all of the world's major navies-from their
operational histories, strategic integration, and technological
advancements, to the training of aircrew, the development of
carrier command leadership, and the role of carriers as deterrents
and diplomatic enforcers. Eighty photographs of all the important
aircraft carriers from before World War I to the present, including
many operated by lesser-known navies A reference section providing
