Naval Establishment and Naval Bases

The Aircraft Carrier Story. By Guy Robbins. Cassell Military; ISBN:0304353086.
	The beginnings of the aircraft carrier were difficult. Guy Robbins' detailed history tells of the early days in World War I, when seaplanes had to be lowered from the ship to take off from the sea, and whinched aboard again on their return. These impracticalities led eventually to aircraft that could take off and land from a long, flat deck. The author examines Royal Navy, American, and Japanese progress in career development and strategy through the interwar years, showing how naval powers gradually shifted their thinking to favour the carrier. Together with sharply reported accounts of wartime engagements, both successes and failures, this book offers a valuable account of the most significant weapons platform to have emerged in the mid-20th century.

American & British Aircraft Carrier Development, 1919-1941. By Thomas C. Hone, Norman Friedman, Mark David Mandeles. United States Naval Institute; ISBN: 1557503826.
	Focusing on the critical years between the two world wars, the authors trace the personal, organizational, and institutional elements that moved the U.S. and British navies along different paths of aircraft carrier development and operations. In a direct, almost conversational tone they draw on years of research to explain why and how the Royal Navy lost its once considerable lead in carrier doctrine and carrier aircraft development to the Americans.
