Regardless of fatigue, equipment trouble, low fuel, poor weather conditions, or time of day, when a U.S. Navy pilot is on BLUE WATER OPS, the carrier is his only place to land. In catapult and recovery operations, stress on pilots, deck crew, and machinery reaches incredible levels. The sights, smells, and sounds of carrier aviation come alive in this book of spectacular photographs. 120 color photos.
