## Description

The Midway-class were the US Navys biggest carriers built during World War II. Superbly illustrated, this explains how they became the backbone of the Cold War fleet. Entering service in September 1945, the Midway-class aircraft carrier was the US Navy’s ultimate World War II-era design, and these would be its frontline carriers as the Cold War dawned. A fine design and one big enough to accept significant modernizations over the decades, the class saw combat in the Vietnam War, and Midway even launched the first carrier airstrikes of the Gulf War in 1990. In this book, naval expert Mark Stille explains how the Midway class was the US Navy’s attempt to build a much larger and more survivable version of the wartime Essex class; its extensive new protection system included the first armoured flight deck in the US Navy. He highlights how new weapons systems transformed the Midways during the jet age, from angled flight decks and catapults to CIWS, until Midway found her last home as a museum ship in San Diego, the only non-Essex-class American carrier to be preserved. Illustrated with archive photos and superb original art, including profiles detailing how the ships were rebuilt throughout their careers, this book explores the heart of the US Navy’s carrier fleet during the early Cold War.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The first supercarriers?
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 October 2024*

Nice history of the development and operation of the three Midway class carriers. USS Midway commissioned within days of the war against Japan ending and saw continuous service for decades including taking part in the first Gulf War in 1991. She is preserved as a museum ship in California. Really good read with plenty of photographs and illustrations. Highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book
*by  on Reviewed in the United States 16 August 2024*

Been waiting for the New Vanguard to do a book of the Midway class carriers for a while. I was not disappointed in this book

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Los libros de Osprey son imprescindibles
*by  on Reviewed in Spain 20 September 2024*

Como siempre, los libros de cualquier serie de Osprey son imprescindibles para hacerse una primera idea de una campaña o un sistema de armas. Yo tengo varios centenares.Este volumen responde perfectamente a esa idea. Sirve perfectamente para conocer esa clase de portaaviones que hizo de puente entre los Essex y los superportaaviones posteriores. Se perdió la IIGM, peto lucho en Corea y Vietnam y consolidó innovaciones como la pista oblicua que les permitieron operar reactores.
