Join me this week as I interview historian, professor, and new author Dr. Stan Fisher about his book, Sustaining the Carrier War: The Deployment of U.S. Naval Air Power to the Pacific.
In his book, Dr. Fisher recounts the efforts the United States Navy made to improve capabilities in fighting a protracted war in the Pacific. He provides a human face to the conflict, focusing on the men (and women) who made sure planes were air ready. Our conversation includes an overview of how the Navy prepared for an increase in aircraft, how the WAVES provided much needed support, and what future policy makers could learn from his analysis. You can find a copy of the book at the United States Naval Institute Press here or wherever you get your books.
