Review quote:
Ships & Shipping, May 2007
“Another of the very well-illustrated Zenith Press series of books showing life in various parts of the U.S. military. [To Be a U.S. Naval Aviator] shows the people, their training, their ships and the aircraft of the U.S. Navy’s aviation arm. While aimed primarily at youngsters hoping to be accepted for flight training with the U.S. Navy, the book also has much wider appeal.”
