The Navy's Air War is the definitive account of the critical role naval aircraft played in World War 2. Author and historian Albert Buchanan recreates the engagements of the Pacific and Atlantic combat theaters with near clinical detail, from the Pearl Harbor Attack to the Japanese surrender aboard the USS Missouri. Interwoven with these combat narratives is background information on technological innovations, production methods, training programs, and the important players involved.

This new edition of The Navy's Air War: A Mission Completed includes annotations and photographs from World War 2.
