Reviews
...a great introduction to carrier operations during World War II, and should be read by all who want to understand the potential limits of carrier aviation., This book is thoroughly recommended. It inspired all kinds of ideas and reflections whilst also being worthwhile simply as a reminder of the importance of tactical and technical detail for a fully rounded appreciation of why the Pacific War turned out the way it did. [...] Whether you are primarily a war-gaming enthusiast or a historian of operations and strategy, there is much here for you., ...this book goes well beyond the hobby-horse genre to make a substantial contribution to the literature., [Celander's] meticulous accounting illuminates the very great risks that naval aviators took and the extreme losses they endured, particularly American pilots during the first two years of the war., Celander does a good job of examining the various aspects, technology, and training that went into the carrier forces of the major powers during the war..., It was interesting to read how logistic support to naval fleets and the ability to replace planes, ships, and manning affected operations and final outcomes., ...an engaging and informative work that helps deliver clarity to a topic that is still far more commonly asserted and assumed than it is understood.

Synopsis
A detailed examination of carriers and carrier operations in WWII, looking at the tools behind the major carrier battles and their evolution throughout the war. In November 1921 the first purpose-built aircraft carrier was launched by the Japanese, followed a year later by the launch of the British Hermes. The conversion of battlecruisers into aircraft carriers after World War I required the consideration of issues including handling aircraft on the flight deck and the techniques of attacking enemy ships, and the evolution of carrier operations was ongoing when World War II broke out. With a focus on the conflict in the Pacific between the U.S. Navy and the imperial Japanese fleet, this title examines how aircraft carriers fought during World War II by first considering all the tools and building blocks of carrier operations, and then discussing the various battles that involved aircraft carriers to explore how carrier operations evolved during war. Every aspect of carrier operations is covered; from the technology used on the carriers and in aircraft including for navigation and communication, to what life was really like in the cockpit for the pilots. A world of tactical dehydration, amphetamine pills, and illegal smoking is explored, as well as the measures pilots implemented to reduce their risk of death in the event of being hit. The major carrier battles of the war are considered, from Coral Sea to Leyte Gulf, with a focus on how the tools of carrier operations were employed. At the battle of Midway the debate of concentration vs. dispersion became relevant, as the Japanese decided to divide their forces while the Americans concentrated theirs. How Carriers Fought questions these tactics, exploring which worked best in theory and in practice. The book concludes with a discussion of how carrier operations changed during the course of the war, as better technology and a better understanding of this new type of warfare allowed for quick advances in how operations were carried out., A detailed examination of carriers and carrier operations in WWII, looking at the tools behind the major carrier battles and their evolution throughout the war., In November 1921 the first purpose-built aircraft carrier was launched by the Japanese, followed a year later by the British HMS Hermes. Alongside the building of new ships, all major navies began to convert battlecruisers into aircraft carriers. The advent of this technologically advanced type of naval warfare required the development of new strategies and tactics, and innovative solutions to the many practical issues involved in basing aircraft on a moving ship. By the late 1930s carriers were fast, specialized ships with thin armor, destined for short but interesting lives. The strategies for deploying carriers were still being refined as World War II broke out. The war was the first time most navies deployed their carriers in battle-carrier actions were more like a game of poker than the slugging matches that developed between battleships. With the enemy never in sight, commanders had to base their decisions solely on the reports from scouts, then hold their nerve until a retaliatory strike had reached its target, if the target was even there. With a focus on the conflict in the Pacific between the U.S. Navy and the Imperial Japanese Navy, this book examines how aircraft carriers fought during World War II by looking at the individual elements of carrier operations and dissecting carrier battles to see how these "building blocks" worked together in practice. Successful carrier operations required good radio communications; sound navigation skills; and the command of formation flying and coordinated attacks. And long before a carrier could carry out operations, its crew had to be able to manage, launch and repair large numbers of aircraft in limited space, while pilots had to adapt to the high-octane, high-risk life of a naval aviator. The battle of the Coral Sea in 1942 was the first time that aircraft carriers engaged each other, while at Midway the debate of concentration vs. dispersion was tested, as the Japanese divided their forces while the Americans concentrated theirs. How Carriers Fought examines these and other carrier battles to explore which strategies worked best in theory and in practice. It concludes with a discussion of how carrier operation changed during the course of the war, as advances in technology and their success in battle provoked swift evolution in combat models and strategies.
