Product Description
Book Description
Veteran naval aviation author Tony Holmes and his cameras were given privileged access to two dozen U.S. and Royal Navy aircraft carriers, resulting in this rare and colorful pictorial look at life aboard modern carriers. Live action photography of aircraft like the Hornet, Tomcat, and Sea Harrier include images of the aircraft flying into combat against Iraq during "Operation Southern Watch"-the only civilian photos taken of the event. In addition, there are images of crewmembers working atop the decks and servicing the aircraft. Firsthand accounts from pilots who fly from and land on carrier decks, as well as from the men and women who work aboard these floating cities, are accompanied by full appendices providing histories of each unit featured.

Fantastic photography!, Jan 25 2002
By Vicente - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Supercarriers: Naval Aviation in Action (Paperback)
Supercarriers is a great book with tons of superb photography.Anyone interested in knowing about flight-deck operations should get this book. Life on board an aircraft carrier is not a "bed of roses". But, its truly an experience!
