The Big E: The Story of the USS Enterprise
by Edward Peary Stafford, Paul Stillwell
Book Description:
A lasting memorial to the USS Enterprise, this classic tale of the carrier that contributed more than any other single warship to the naval victory in the Pacific has remained a favorite World War II story for more than twenty-five years. The Big E participated in nearly every major engagement of the war against Japan and earned a total of twenty battle stars. The Halsey-Doolittle Raid; the Battles of Midway, Santa Cruz, Guadalcanal, the Philippine Sea, and Leyte Gulf; and the invasions of Iwo Jima and Okinawa are all faithfully recorded from the viewpoint of the men who served her so well. The author, a naval aviator, focuses on the exploits of the famous ship's air groups, capturing the reality of their encounters and provoking a range of emotions from readers.This superb study of a great ship, her crew, and the action they saw has been called one of the finest pieces of naval writing to emerge from the war. What it is like inside the cockpit of a Dauntless dive bomber as it bores in on its target or the effort required to unstick the ship's huge rudder when damaged by a bomb are just two of the nuggets Edward Stafford mined from the mountain of research and lengthy interviews he conducted to write the book. Literate and scholarly as well as highly dramatic, the book will appeal to historians and the general public alike.

Carrier : A Guided Tour of an Aircraft Carrier
by Tom Clancy (Introduction), Leon A. Edney
They are floating cities with crews of thousands. They are the linchpins of any military strategy, for they provide what has become the key to every battle fought since World War I: air superiority. The mere presence of a U.S. naval carrier in a region is an automatic display of strength that sends a message no potential enemy can ignore. Now, Tom Clancy welcomes you aboard for a detailed look at how these floating behemoths function. With his trademark style and eye for detail, Clancy brings you naval combat strategy like no one else can. Carrier includes: * Takeoffs and landings: flying into the danger zone
* The aircraft onboard: their range, their power, their weaponry
* The role of the carrier in modern naval warfare
* Exclusive photographs, illustrations and diagrams
Plus: An interview with the U.S. Navy's Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Jay Johnson

by Charles H. Brown
Book Description: One of the aviator's greatest challenges--and fears--is flying in foul weather from an aircraft carrier. With only instruments to guide them, pilots are under constant pressure to keep their aircraft under control as the author of this book knows well. Charles Brown is a veteran naval aviator who participated in many of the operations he describes and helped develop the tactics to make such operations possible. His book addresses that significant but frequently overlooked part of carrier history: the ability of carrier combat units to fly and fight at night and in any weather condition.From the early experiments on the USS Langley in the 1920s, the work traces the changes in the aviator's training, operational techniques, and tactics as technological improvements were made. It shows how the addition of the angled deck and mirror to the carrier, for example, had a dramatic impact on night flying. It chronicles developments before and during World War II as well as the Korean, Vietnam, and Cold Wars and closes with a vivid description of naval air combat during the Persian Gulf War, a time when night flying operations had become common.
As the book illustrates, technological advances in both carrier systems and airplanes have reduced the dangers of night/all weather operations over the years, provoking some of today's aviators to claim, "The night belongs to us." Brown believes they have achieved the right to claim at least partial ownership. He reminds readers that the developments described are one of the primary reasons carriers remain a major combat force in the U.S. military. Accented with lively anecdotes by participants, this is the first book to provide comprehensive coverage of the subject and will appeal to everyone interested in aviation.

1982USS Saratoga (CV-3): An Illustrated History of the Legendary Aircraft Carrier 1927-1946
by John Fry
Originally laid down as one of six giant battle cruisers, the Saratoga survived the 1922 Washington Disarmament Treaty's cutting torch through her conversion to a new and seemingly benign type of vessel-the aircraft carrier. She reported for duty off Long Beach, CA in 1927 and for the next twelve years trained the men who would eventually fight World War II. One of only three carriers on duty at the outset of World War II, Saratoga, at one point, was the sole American carrier available to Naval Aviation. She suffered two torpedo attacks and a horrifying kamikaze attack, and was reported sunk many times by the Japanese. Refitted as a night-attack carrier, then relegated to the role of training carrier, Saratoga survived the war only to be sacrificed in the atomic bomb tests at Bikini Atoll in 1946. No carrier, or ship, played a greater role in developing the men and tactics that became the massive force that United States Naval Aviation., over 200 b/w photographs. The Publisher.
