In 1910, when a biplane was successfully launched from a stationary ship for the first time, few would have imagined that aircraft carriers would rule the seas for much of the next century. But the pace of development was rapid. Just four years later, a Japanese seaplane carrier launched the world's first naval air raid, and in 1916 shipborne aircraft took part in a fleet action for the first time, at Jutland. With stunning new artwork and fascinating archive photographs, this book is the story of the very first years of the aircraft carrier. From hastily adapted merchant ships to the first purpose-built seaplane carrier (HMS Ark Royal), and the world's first aircraft carrier with a full length flight deck, this book covers the aviation ships built and used by all combatants in World War I, with a concise account of their role in the war at sea.

The air campaign that incinerated Japan's cities was the first and only time that independent air power has won a war. - - As the United States pushed Imperial Japan back towards Tokyo Bay, the US Army Air Force deployed the first of a new bomber to the theater. The B-29 Superfortress was complex, troubled, and hugely advanced. It was the most expensive weapons system of the war, and formidably capable. But at the time, no strategic bombing campaign had ever brought about a nation's surrender. Not only that, but Japan was half a world away, and the US had no airfields even within the extraordinary range of the B-29. - - This analysis explains why the B-29s struggled at first, and how General LeMay devised radical and devastating tactics that began to systematically incinerate Japanese cities and industries and eliminate its maritime trade with aerial mining. It explains how and why this campaign was so uniquely successful, and how gaps in Japan's defences contributed to the B-29s' success. 96 p. photos and illustrations, some in color.
