2nd Best Book about Naval Aviation

This is an absolutely fabulous book about carrier aviation from its first conception to modern day. It's margins are filled with lots of trivia about the aviators and aircraft. The book contains lots of picture and photographs of the first built carriers and carrier based aircraft. I enjoy just picking up the book and reading a few pages at a time. It is very easy to read and makes a wonderful coffee table book. As a naval aviator, I will cherish this book. By the way, the BEST book is U.S. Naval Aviation.
