U.S. Aircraft Carriers, Revised Edition

*U.S. Aircraft Carriers, Revised Edition* by Norman Friedman presents a comprehensive design history of U.S. aircraft carriers, spanning from USS Langley (CV-1) in 1920 through the Ford-class. Drawing largely from formerly classified U.S. Navy records, Friedman, a leading authority, analyzes the design, performance, and political and technical rationales for each ship type, including the Enterprise, Essex-, Midway-, and Nimitz-classes. This digitally remastered, corrected, and updated edition of an industry-standard work features detailed scale drawings by Alan Raven and A.D. Baker III, alongside numerous photographs. An indispensable reference for scholars and enthusiasts.
