Synopsis
USS Yorktown (CV-5) was the US Navy's first battle-worthy, purpose-built aircraft carrier. Her crew, already accustomed to wartime conditions by maintaining Neutrality Patrols during 1941 in the Atlantic, quickly adapted to the Pacific Theater, having been dispatched there immediately after Pearl Harbor. First at Coral Sea, then at Midway, Yorktown's flyers blunted the sword of Japanese aggression. The men flying from her decks were instrumental in turning the tide of WWII in the Pacific. This volume explores Yorktown's construction, prewar and wartime activities through carefully researched photos, many of which have never before been published, which are reproduced in remarkable clarity. This clarity, and the large size of many of the photos, coupled with descriptive and informative captions, puts the reader on the deck of this historic warship throughout her history., USS Yorktown (CV-5) was the US Navy's first battle-worthy, purpose-built aircraft carrier.

by rwtitanic101Dec 31, 2021
A great must have book for any lover of naval history!
As the first book in a trilogy compiling the history of the Yorktown Class of aircraft carriers, USS Yorktown (CV-5) is absolutely fantastic! Basically the entire book is a feast for the eyes in photographs. Some "confidential" and "not to be published publicly," during construction and throughout WWII is awesome. Seeing her built side-by-side next to her sister ship, USS Enterprise (CV-6) reminded me of photographs of RMS Olympic and RMS Titanic under construction. She served her nation proudly. Sad to have lost her in battle. The companion volumes in the "Legends in Warfare Naval" trilogy: USS Enterprise (CV-6) and USS Hornet (CV-8) are must haves too!
