About the book >.>.> Whilst the actual US Navy carrier operations have been well recorded it is surprising that little has yet been written on the colours and markings worn by the aircraft. Geoff Thomas author of the successful book in this range – RAF Thunderbolts – has used his vast knowledge of aircraft marking systems to compile a concise guide to these remarkable and colourful systems. Anyone who has an interest in the operations of aircraft during wartime will inevitably wish to know to what unit a machine seen in photograph or on film belonged to. This book will enable the historian or modeller to decipher the symbols used by units of the US Navy to identify units aircraft carriers and even the actual battles being fought when the photographs were being taken. This comprehensive book apart from covering markings colours and organisation provides a concise history of the US Navy’s air war at sea and also includes details of the Task Forces in the Pacific.
