Description:... This is the complete history of Naval Aviation and of the men and women who fought for it from its obscure beginnings in 1910 through the Persian Gulf War and on to the present. Morrison paints a fascinating retrospective of the successes and failures of a division of the military that has been immersed in politics and bureaucracy from its beginnings. He describes the conflicts between Navy battleship diehards and the young turks who made up the Navy's early aviation branch and affected the course of tomorrow's aviation technology.
