From the primitive flight-deck experiments of the First World War to the nuclear-powered supercarriers of the modern era, Aircraft Carriers of the World, 1914 to the Present: An Illustrated Encyclopedia presents the most comprehensive visual and technical record of naval aviation history ever assembled in a single volume. Roger Chesneau chronicles every significant carrier built or converted by the world's major naval powers across seven decades, detailing each vessel's displacement, dimensions, armament, air complement, and operational history with the precision of a seasoned naval historian. Chesneau's encyclopaedic approach gives this work its enduring authority — a country-by-country, class-by-class breakdown that serves both the serious researcher and the dedicated enthusiast with equal rigour. The text is enriched by an extensive collection of photographs, line drawings, and technical specifications that bring each vessel to vivid life. For anyone with a passion for the capital ships that reshaped twentieth-century warfare, this reference remains the definitive starting point — and a volume that rewards every return visit.
