The book is well illustrated thanks to plenty of archive photos plus the first class artwork that is included. I found it a very interesting read and think that a mix of ship and aircraft enthusiasts/modellers will enjoy this one, also being great value for money.

Synopsis
The history of the US Navy's biggest aircraft carriers to be built during World War II, which found a second life as the backbone of the Cold War fleet. Entering service in September 1945, the Midway-class aircraft carrier was the US Navy's ultimate World War II-era design, and would be the largest and most capable American carriers as the Cold War dawned. These prestigious, nuclear-capable carriers operated in the Cold War frontlines of the Atlantic and Mediterranean early in their careers, and were big enough to accept significant modernizations over the next decades. Later in their careers, two of the ships saw combat in the Vietnam War. The last ship of the class, Midway , launched the first carrier airstrikes of the Gulf War in 1990-91, and did not finally leave service until 1992. In this book Mark Stille explains how the Midway class was the US Navy's attempt to build a much larger and much more survivable version of the wartime Essex-class. The Midway class was the first US Navy carrier to be designed with an armored flight deck, and other parts of the ships were also better protected than the Essex class. The new class was designed with an expanded offensive capability, carrying up to 137 aircraft. Midway-class ships also featured a massive secondary and antiaircraft battery, and all three were later also fitted to carry Regulus surface to surface missiles. They ended their careers carrying Sea Sparrow SAMs and CIWS mounts. The Midway class constituted the heart of the US Navy's carrier fleet during the first 15 years of the Cold War until the Forrestal-class supercarriers came into service in the early 1960s. The importance of these ships in conducting presence missions in the European theater early in the Cold War will be highlighted. The basic soundness of the original design will also be highlighted. Two of the ships in the class enjoyed prolonged careers, which will also be traced, and Midway ended its career as a museum ship in San Diego, the only non-Essex-class American carrier to be preserved., The Midway-class were the US Navy's biggest carriers built during World War II. Superbly illustrated, this explains how they became the backbone of the Cold War fleet., Entering service in September 1945, the Midway-class aircraft carrier was the US Navy's ultimate World War II-era construction. A fine design and one big enough to accept significant modernizations over the decades, two of the ships saw combat in the Vietnam War, and Midway even launched the first carrier airstrikes of the Gulf War in 1990. In this book, naval expert Mark Stille explains how the Midway class was the US Navy's attempt to build a much larger and more survivable version of the wartime Essex class; its extensive new protection system included the first armored flight deck in the US Navy. He highlights how new weapons systems transformed the Midways during the jet age, from angled flight decks and catapults to CIWS, until Midway found her last home as a museum ship in San Diego, the only non-Essex-class American carrier to be preserved. Illustrated with archive photos and superb original art, including profiles detailing how the ships were rebuilt throughout their careers, this book explores the heart of the US Navy's carrier fleet during the early Cold War.

- b***l (51)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThe item is dandy, but the shipping time… I guess I’ve gotten spoiled, because up until now, every purchase I’ve made on eBay has been shipped out immediately and has arrived promptly. This seemed to take forever. Shipped on July 22, arrived July 31: 10 days. I don’t know- maybe my expectations were unrealistic. (Still, the predicted delivery date was Aug. 1, so it did arrive one day early according to that original estimate.)
