Carrier War: Aviation Art of World War II by Paul Stillwell traces the rise of the aircraft carrier from early experiments in shipborne flight through the interwar evolution that produced the true fleet carriers of Britain, Japan, and the United States, whose numbers and importance exploded during World War II. Told with gripping historical anecdotes, the book focuses on carrier-based air operations and the air–sea battles that made the carrier the cornerstone of modern naval warfare, while visually interpreting combat missions, deck operations, launches and recoveries through the eyes of leading aviation and military artists.
Lavishly produced as an illustrated history and thematic art collection, the book features breathtaking full‑color paintings, large-format color plates, reproductions of military aviation art, and illustrated endpapers and jacket art, accompanied by interpretive commentary that situates each image in its historical context. Published by Friedman/Fairfax and authored by renowned military historian Paul Stillwell (ISBN13: 9781586633097), it serves as a pictorial/photographic-art album and reference for enthusiasts of WWII naval aviation and war art.

Before you enlist a new title into your personal library, check the Condition Report below to see how much action these volumes have seen:
New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
