Historic Naval Aircraft
Historic Naval Aircraft
by
Norman Polmar
Polmar is one of the most well-read and prlific naval historians currently in the United States. After the death of James Fahey (founding author of the series "Ships & Aircraft of the US Fleet"), Polmar continued Fahey's work by publishing several updated editions of "Ships & Aircraft". Polmar has also written numerous naval history works including this one. He has served as a personal advisor to several Chiefs of Naval Operations. Polmar is very knowledgeable of naval history (especially World War II to the Cold War era).
My only disappointment about this book (Historic Naval Aircraft) is Polmar's unexplained omission of the Grumman F6F Hellcat. Certainly, the Hellcat was one of the Navy's most famous carrier-borne fighters. It was the Hellcat which downed more Japannese planes than any other Navy fighters incuding the Vought Corsair.
All in all, however, Polmar's book is good reference source for many other famous naval planes. I'm keeping my copy of this book.

First Great Triumph
Warren Zimmerman's book was based on a subject which has always intrigued me...[In which particular decade(s) of the nineteenth century did post Civil War America begin the journey of becoming a world power]. Zimmermann's book focuses on five men: Theodore Roosevelt, Alfred Thayer Mahan, John Hay, Elihu Root and Henry Cabot Lodge as the visionary forces leading America's transition from a newly formed continental power to a nation of international importance.
As a student of naval history, of the five visionaries, my favorites were naturally Roosevelt and Mahan. The book is balanced, well written and sheds light on what steps America had to take on becomming first a colonial power (over the Philippines, Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, and Puerto Rico) then moving forward to become a world class naval power.
