Summary
This book examines the naval aviation operations and aircraft of NATO and Soviet forces during the Cold War from 1949 to 1989. Michael Napier explores how both sides developed their maritime air capabilities, including carrier-based aircraft, patrol planes, and anti-submarine warfare operations. The book details the strategic competition over critical sea routes, particularly in the Atlantic and Mediterranean, and describes the aircraft types, tactics, and technologies employed by both alliances. It provides insight into this often-overlooked aspect of Cold War military confrontation at sea.
