The struggle between ships and aircraft for the control of the surface of the sea has been one of the most fascinating conflicts of the twentieth century. This book describes that struggle from its origins in the First World War, to the debates of the interwar years, the great battles of the Second World War and the development of missiles for attack and defence in the post-war years. Twenty key battles are described in vivid detail bringing out the flaws and mistakes on each side and the lessons which were learned, or should have been learned. The contributions and shortcomings of the various navies and airforces involved in the battles are set out with conspicuous fairness. Control of the sea is still in dispute; the battle between ships and aircraft is still not decided. This book provides a remarkable understanding of the history of this struggle, its present status, and its likely developments.
