N2  - In this compelling study, Richard Humble traces the full story of the aircraft-carrier, beginning with the floatplane and deck-landing pioneers of the First World War. He examines the conversion of battleships to carriers in the 1920s nd the evolution of the carrier task force as a far more powerful successor to the traditional battle fleet--as shatteringly demonstrated at Taranto in November 1940 and at Pearl Harbor in December 1941
