description: Only Barrett Tillman, dean of Naval aviation historians, could have created a readable reference book of this nature. This first-ever chronology of VF squadrons describes their history, deployments, battle highlights, commanders, aces, losses, and aircraft. Twenty-five lush appendices supply further information including shoot-down claims, biographies of 12 famous aces, and a list of 371 Naval fighter aces, aces in a day, and top scoring squadrons.
