Synopsis

One of the aviator's greatest challenges - and fears - is flying from an aircraft carrier in foul weather. With only instruments to guide them, pilots are under constant pressure to keep their aircraft under control. The author of this book knows all about those challenges. A veteran naval aviator, Charles Brown participated in many of the operations he writes about, and he helped develop the tactics that made the operations possible. His book addresses a significant but frequently overlooked part of carrier history: the ability of carrier combat units to fly and fight at night and in any weather condition.
