内容简介:
From critically acclaimed military historian Gerald Astor comes
Wings of Gold, the first account of how the airplane
transformed the U.S. Navy and paved the way to victory in the
Pacific in World War II. Astor tracks that fateful journey from its
humble beginnings in 1910 when Eugene Ely flew the very first plane
off the deck of a U.S. Navy ship to the unprecedented air combat
missions that helped defeat the Japanese.
Few naval aviators in World War II realized that when they earned
their wings of gold they were about to become test pilots for a
whole new kind of combat. In their own words, these courageous
fliers describe the life-and-death air battles that defined the
revolution in naval strategy that rose from the ashes of Pearl
Harbor, when fighter pilots watched in horror as Japanese
carrier-launched aircraft bombed their planes and airfields into
smoking rubble.
While following the pilots’ firsthand reports of air strikes and
blazing dogfights across the islands and atolls of the Pacific,
Astor explores the ways the U.S. Navy began its momentous
transformation before the war. Later, the critical role of aircraft
carriers in the stunning U.S. victory at Midway sounded the death
knell for conventional naval warfare, yet the public, the press,
the Army, and even the president’s advisors refused to recognize
the new reality. In fact, only a few in the Navy understood that a
new era had begun that would change the face of war forever.
The young Americans who fought the deadly duels against Imperial
Japanese forces high over the Pacific gave everything they had to
the war effort, and many made the supreme sacrifice. Wings of
Gold pays tribute to their courage, daring, and selfless
dedication. Vividly told, thoroughly researched, and filled with
stirring accounts of the Pacific War’s greatest air battles,
Wings of Gold is an important addition to the annals of
World War II aerial combat.

“No one does oral history better than Gerald Astor.”
—STEPHEN AMBROSE
“Relying on oral histories and pure literary skill, he tells the
naval aviation story in a compelling fashion that makes this book
special…[He] nearly mak[es] it read like a dramatic novel–a
difficult task indeed.”
-PROCEEDINGS, publication of the U.S. Naval Institute
"Astor is . . . an historian worth reading."
--PACIFIC WAR
From the Hardcover edition.
