Description

The US Navy first carrier-based monoplane was a torpedo bomber rather than a nimble fighter. It was also the first all-metal, high performance aircraft and the first aircraft with hydraulically folding wing.

This book takes you back to the early days of the Navy with a new weapon on the new and untried aircraft carriers when the Battle ship was king.

There are a lot of photos, drawing, cut away along with ship and squadron history.
