Since February, 1962, a series of articles has appeared in Naval
Aviation News under the title "Evolution of Aircraft Carriers."
They measure up as an authentic, earnest attempt to chronicle a
history of carriers since the mobile airfield idea was initially
conceived. Here, under these covers, are the entire contents of
those articles. This does not comprise a complete history of
carriers - that history is still being written in seas around the
world. This collection, based on information gathered from many
office sources, provides an interesting account of how and why the
carrier developed as it did. It is the story behind the perhaps
better known tale of carrier operations. It is the story of change
- change dictated by operational necessity and by technological
progress. It is also the story of how naval constructors took full
advantage of technological progress, and the lessons learned of
operational experience to solve the Navy's unique problem of taking
aviation to sea. As a result of their efforts and the constant
improvement of tactics necessary to weld seas and air power
together, the aircraft carrier stands today at the forefront of
Naval power, ready and able to defend the nation and to project
national interests to all parts of the world.
