More about the book
The early years of US naval aviation faced significant challenges, with limited funding and interest until 1916, when the threat of involvement in World War I sparked a shift. Despite this newfound urgency, the naval and marine air divisions were ill-prepared for combat when the US entered the war, leading them to depend heavily on European allies for essential aircraft. This period highlights the struggles and eventual evolution of naval aviation amid the backdrop of global conflict.
