Marriott. During World War II, Essex-class carriers were at the center of the powerful task groups that could put up hundreds of aircraft to support forces on the ground. They were also prime targets for Japanese air attacks, in particular the kamikaze suicide missions. Included are dramatic action shots of naval aircraft that was launched from their flight decks, including Hellcat and Corsair fighters that took on the Japanese, and the carrier-borne jets that flew over Korea and Vietnam. 176 pages 200+ B&W photos, 7½"x 9½", softcover.
