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)

Począwszy od skromnych początków w 1911 roku, kiedy to Marynarka Wojenna Stanów Zjednoczonych korzystała z wodnosamolotów, w latach 30. XX wieku Marynarka Wojenna Stanów Zjednoczonych posiadała sterowce i wprowadzała myśliwce. Na początku II wojny światowej myśliwce jednopłatowe zastępowały dwupłatowce, a budowa lotniskowców była w toku.

Do myśliwców takich jak Grumman FLF Hellcat i Vought F4U Corsair dołączyły samoloty szturmowe z lotniskowców, takie jak Dauntless, Devastator i Helldriver. Oprócz samolotów pokładowych, inne samoloty operowały z baz brzegowych, wykorzystując zarówno koła, jak i pływaki.

Po II wojnie światowej samoloty odrzutowe zastąpiły napęd śmigłowy, a słynnymi, wczesnymi przykładami były Shooting Star i McDonnell Phantom, które brały udział w walkach w Korei. W Wietnamie w służbie znajdowały się F4 Phantom II, Skyhawk i Intruder. Oprócz tych myśliwców szturmowych, używano Lockheed Viking, Douglas Skywarrior, zdolny do zwalczania okrętów podwodnych i broni jądrowej.

Po wojnie w Wietnamie do służby weszły F14 Tomcat i Hornet, a także Prowler (wojna elektroniczna) i Hawkeye (system wczesnego ostrzegania). Uzupełnieniem tych samolotów była gama śmigłowców, od potężnego Super Stallion, przez Sea Kingi, Seasprite'y, po Seahawki.

Obecnie dominują Super Hornety, a także imponująca gama samolotów i śmigłowców o wielu możliwościach. Wszystkie te i wiele innych są szczegółowo opisane i zilustrowane w tej znakomitej książce. Omówiono w niej również przyszłe projekty.
