World War II: Carrier War follows the aircraft carrier’s emergence as one of the decisive weapons of the Pacific War. Sears traces the campaigns in which naval aviation replaced the battleship as the principal instrument of sea power, from the early carrier clashes through the long Allied advance toward Japan. The book explains how aircraft, pilots, intelligence and fleet organisation combined in battles fought across enormous distances with opposing ships often never seeing one another.
