McCain and the Triumph of Naval Air Power covers the life and professional career of Adm. John S. McCain Sr. (1884-1945). McCain was among the select few officers who reached the heights of carrier task force command during World War II in the Pacific. Spanning most of the first half of the twentieth century, McCain's life and career highlight the integration of aviation into the Navy, emphasizing the evolution of the aircraft carrier from a tactical element of the fleet stressing sea control to a strategic force capable of long-range power projection."--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a McCain, John Sidney, $d 1884-1945. 610 10 $a United States. $b Navy $x Officers $v Biography. 610 10 $a United States. $b Navy $x History $x History $y 20th century. 600 17 $a McCain, John Sidney, $d 1884-1945. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00430575 610 17 $a United States. $b Navy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00533204 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 650 0 $a Admirals $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Aircraft carriers $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Pacific Area. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Naval operations, American. 650 7 $a Admirals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00796937 650 7 $a Aircraft carriers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00802803 650 7 $a Armed Forces $x Aviation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01351741 650 7 $a Armed Forces $x Officers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00814617 650 7 $a Military operations, Naval $x American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710245 651 7 $a Pacific Area. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01243504 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Trimble, William F., 1947- author. $t Admiral John S.
