This thorough study of the history, development and service of
floatplanes carried on battleships and cruisers documents a long
neglected subject for the first time in over 400 photographs. From
the 1920s through World War II, aircraft operating from catapults
were used for spotting gunfire and scouting ahead of the fleet.
Flying these planes was unique and the dramatic launching and
recovery operations are covered by both photographs and text.
Colors and markings are detailed and special attention has been
paid to images showing catapult and ship details for both the ship
and aircraft modeler. The assignment of all aircraft by type,
totals, squadrons and ship is given annually from 1942 to 1949. In
addition to rare photos of all of the experimental aircraft that
were tested for this purpose, an addition chapter covers
floatplanes used on small ships and submarine. William Larkins is
also author of The Ford Tri-Motor 1926-1992, and U.S. Navy Aircraft
1921-1941, U.S. Marine Corps Aircraft 1914-1959(both titles are
available from Schiffer Publishing Ltd.).
