This is the comprehensive story of some of the most radical attack aircraft ever designed to operate from an aircraft carrier. These incredible projects were developed in 1948 to equip the USS United States, an immense 65,000-ton supercarrier that was to have been the core of the Navys nascent strategic nuclear bombardment capability.

Recently declassified, details of these fascinating projects are presented here for the first time.
