Battleship and Cruiser Aircraft of the United States Navy, 1910-1949

This thorough study of the history, development and service of floatplanes carried on battleships and cruisers documents a long neglected subject for the first time in over 400 photographs.

From the 1920s through World War II, aircraft operating from catapults were used for spotting gunfire and scouting ahead of the fleet. Flying these planes was unique and the dramatic launching and recovery operations are covered by both photographs and text.
Colors and markings are detailed and special attention has been paid to images showing catapult and ship details for both the ship and aircraft modeler.

The assignment of all aircraft by type, totals, squadrons and ship is given annually from 1942 to 1949. In addition to rare photos of all of the experimental aircraft that were tested for this purpose, an addition chapter covers floatplanes used on small ships and submarine.

United States Naval Aviation 1911-2014 - Rare photographs from Wartime Archives (Images of War)

Desde sus humildes comienzos en 1911 con hidroaviones, en la década de 1930 la Armada estadounidense ya contaba con dirigibles y estaba introduciendo aviones de combate. Al inicio de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, los cazas monoplano estaban reemplazando a los biplanos y se estaba construyendo un importante portaaviones.

A los cazas como el Grumman FLF Hellcat y el Vought F4U Corsair se unieron aviones de ataque embarcados como el Dauntless, el Devastator y el Helldriver. Además de los aviones embarcados, otros operaban desde bases terrestres utilizando tanto ruedas como flotadores.

Tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, los aviones a reacción sustituyeron a los de hélice, y entre los primeros ejemplos famosos se encuentran el Shooting Star y el McDonnell Phantom, que combatieron en Corea. Para la época de Vietnam, ya estaban en servicio el F4 Phantom II, el Skyhawk y el Intruder. Además de estos aviones de combate, también estaban en servicio el Lockheed Viking y el Douglas Skywarrior, con capacidad antisubmarina y nuclear.

Tras la guerra de Vietnam, los F-14 Tomcat y Hornet entraron en servicio junto con el Prowler (guerra electrónica) y el Hawkeye (alerta temprana). Estas aeronaves se complementaron con una gama de helicópteros, desde el imponente Super Stallion hasta los Sea King, Seasprite y Seahawk.

Hoy en día, el Super Hornet predomina junto con una impresionante gama de aviones y helicópteros multifuncionales. Todos ellos, y muchos más, se describen con todo detalle y se ilustran en este excelente libro. También se abordan proyectos futuros.
