Did you know that the aircraft carrier USS Midway was once the largest ship in the world? Or that its anchor weighed 20 tons. The Midway was fast enough that a person could ski behind it. It could launch an aircraft once every 45 seconds.
Learn more about the Midway and its legacy in this book by Donald Yates, the author of a dozen books on military history and vehicles. He looks at the history of one of the most prestigious ships ever to serve the U.S. Navy, the Midway (CV-41).
Yates, a military veteran, describes the many successes of the Midway while also discussing some of the less glamorous and tragic events endured by the crew of the Midway.
