Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In 1945 the most powerful fleet in the Royal Navy's history was centred on nine aircraft carriers. This book charts the post-war fortunes of this potent strike force; its decline in the face of diminishing resources, its final fall at the hands of uncomprehending politicians, and its recent resurrection in the form of the 'Queen Elizabeth' class carriers, the largest ships ever built for the Royal Navy. After 1945 'experts' prophesied that nuclear weapons would make conventional forces obsolete but British carrier-borne aircraft were almost continuously employed in numerous conflicts as far apart as Korea, Egypt, the Persian Gulf, the South Atlantic, East Africa and the Far East, often giving successive British Governments options when no others were available. In the process the Royal Navy invented many of the techniques and devices crucial to modern carrier operations angled decks, steam catapults and deck-landing aids while also pioneering novel forms of warfare like helicopter-borne assault, and tactics for countering such modern plagues as insurgency and terrorism. This book combines narratives of these operations with a clear analysis of the strategic and political background, benefiting from the author's personal experience of both carrier flying and the workings of Whitehall. This new paperback edition will be welcomed by historians and enthusiasts and has now particular significance as Britain once again embraces carrier aviation. AUTHOR: DAVID HOBBS served 33 years as a RN pilot, and since retirement he has spent a period as Curator of the Fleet Air Arm Museum and become the author of many highly regarded books, including 'A Century of Naval Aviation' (2009), 'The British Pacific Fleet' (2011), the bestselling 'British Aircraft Carriers' (2013) and 'The Dawn of Carrier Strike' (2019). 200 b/w illustrations A follow-up to the author's bestselling British Pacific Fleet, a timely publication as the Royal Navy's new carriers come into service. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9781526785442
