This publication documents the
history of all 86 Naval Air
Stations east of the Mississippi
during WW II--the definitive
reference on the subject. The
book is unique in that the
comprehensive history of all the
air stations has never been
available until now. The text
covers the use of the land and
the historical aviation events
prior to the Navy's presence;
the Naval aviation activity at
the station during the war; and
the status and use of the
airport today. In addition,
there are numerous anecdotes and
insights into WW II Naval
Aviation, as well as photographs
and text on the aircraft in use.
The Author, a former U. S. Naval
pilot, has written the book from
a pilot's viewpoint in a
realistic and accurate manner.
Recollections of WW II Naval
veterans, also lend authenticity
to the work. A total of 257
photographs include aerial and
ground shots of the air stations
during the war. The devotees of
World War II and/or Naval
Aviation will find this book an
indispensable addition to their
libraries.
