Here is the story of the pioneer carriers — the Langley, Lexington, and Saratoga; the evolution of the catapult; the first heroic attack on the Japanese mainland by planes launched from the Hornet; the saga of carrier feats in the battles of Midway, the Coral Sea, and the Atlantic; the ordeal of the Franklin; the tale of the most famous carrier of all — the Big "E"; the story of how Captain Thach's "phantom carrier" harassed the North Koreans; and the dramatic use of carriers in the 1962 Cuban crisis.
