Carrier War: Task Force 58 and the Pacific Sea Battles
by Lt. Oliver Jensen, USNR
The story of the Task Force 58 with its big carriers from its inception through the battles in the Philippines.
This work recounts in detail some of the prodigious miracles they accomplished in spearheading the seizure of new holdings deep in former Japanese waters.
The book is profusely illustrated with photos and maps, many of them official Navy photographs and about half of them the work of Commander Edward J. Steichen's special photographic unit.
Originally published in 1945.
