Beautiful full colour photography captures cutting edge U.S.N. Aircraft in action, such as the F 14 Tomcat, the F-18 Hornet, the A-6 Intruder, The EA-6B Prowler, the S-3B Viking, as well as the men and equipment used to keep the operations moving. This very attractive and in-depth book belongs in the collection of any aviation enthusiast, scale modeler, or USN veteran.

Mostly just photos of the air wing, if you were ship's company prepare to be snubbed. In fact if you served aboard her and took some photos yourself save your money and drag out the photo album and cruise books.

Velinden's team has produced another excellent photo expose', this time featuring the air wing of the (now) retired U.S.S. Forrestal. Excellent photo's of the aircraft and deck crew are the feature of this book.

Although this book is a little bit dated, since both the Forrestal and the F-14s are now history to the US Navy, Mr Verlinden does a suberb job describing in a few pages the workings of USS Forrestal's flying deck. The photographs are very clear and sharp and the captions accompanying them reveal the author's penetrating look to military hardware. The sequence of catapult take offs and arresting hook landings are described in a vivd way and the photos show the various people working long shifts. Although there are photos of Hornets, Prowlers, Vikings and Hawkeyes, the Tomcats are the kings of the book.
Rated by buyers -
Any book that leaves out the ragged engineers crawling through the bilges and maintaining the fresh water and cool air for the pilots and crew isn't complete.

This book provides you the details about the activity on the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal from the hangar under the deck, the preparation before the launching of the aircraft, during and after the landing , concerned equipment and vehicles. If you're the modeler and seeking for the reference book to build your naval diorama, this book is the best since it consists of over 60 colour photos which you can also use as the painting guide.
