An in-depth analysis of aircraft carrier battles in WWII and the evolution of carrier operations-from technology and strategy to life among the crew.
First built in 1921, the aircraft carrier brought a new dimension to military strategy as the United States entered World War II.
How Carriers Fought examines the evolution of carrier operations with a special focus on the conflict in the Pacific between the US Navy and the imperial Japanese fleet.
Starting with a discussion of the tools and building blocks of carrier operations, historian Lars Celander then provides an analysis of various carrier battles to demonstrate how strategy and operations developed during the war. Every aspect of carrier warfare is covered, from navigation and communication technology to life inside the cockpit. A world of tactical dehydration and amphetamine pills is explored, as well as the measures pilots used to reduce their risk of death in the event of being hit.
The major carrier battles of the war are considered, from Coral Sea and Leyte Gulf to the Battle of Midway, where the Japanese decided to divide their forces while the Americans concentrated theirs.
How Carriers Fought analyzes these tactics, exploring which worked best in theory and in practice.
