Most of our Landmarks books are reader copies only, and are usually less than the marked price. Collectors: please call or email if you're looking for specific editions or dust jackets!
The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
In 1910, less than seven years after the Wright brothers first flew a plane from the ground, Eugene Ely flew a plane from a ship. His daring exploit marked the beginning of the most important change in the long history of sea power.
In this book Captain Edmund L. Castillo tells the story of carrier aviation—from the first shaky flights of the pioneers, through the dramatic carrier battles of World War II, to the efficient operations of a modern nuclear-powered carrier.
