This thorough study summarizes the factors critical in shaping naval aviation after World War I, including naval treaties, fleet tactics, government programs, leadership and organization, and the emergence of Marine Corps and Coast Guard aviation. Detailed technical drawings of individual aircrafts, airships, and ship development illustrate the 22-year process of trial and error that ultimately enabled U.S. naval aviation to prevail during the early months of World War II.
