Seller's Description:
Fine- No Dust Jacket Present. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. 585pages, illustrated, with an Introduction by Paul Stillwell, Foreword by Admiral Arthur W. Ranford."The Big E is the heroic saga of the greatest, and best-loved fighting ship in history. Seven times during World War II the Japanese claimed to have sent this veteran carrier to the bottom-she escaped destruction so narrowly and so often that she was known in the fleet as the 'Galloping Ghost'. The Big E was largely responsible for turning the tide at Midway; she supported and defended the Marines on Guadalcanal, took part in the first attacks on the dreaded Japanese fortress of Truck, and more. She was officially credited with downing 911 enemy planes, sinking 71 ships and damaging almost 200 others." FINE-HARDCOVER.

Seller's Description:
Introduction by Paul Stillwell. 8vo. Blue cloth with gilt lettering and rules. xvii, 585pp, (5pp). Sewn-in blue satin page marker. Very good. Front board gilt rubbed, else tight and internally fine. Handsome reprint of this 1962 account of the famed aircraft carrier after whom Gene Roddenberry named his "Star Trek" starship. A volume in the Naval Institute's "Classics of Naval Literature" series.
This is another great book by Stafford. It tells the story of WWII through the eyes of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise. This book is as riveting as his other books, Little Ship, Big War and Subchaser . All three of these books do a great job of telling what it was like to serve during WWII on a US Navy ship from small to large and how the war was seen by a person on board rather than an overall history of the war.

Courageous Men of the Big E
This is a detailed account of the Big E's battles and of her courageous sailors. This is the most decorated ship in the US Navy, and it pursued the Japanese fleet right to the doorstep of Japan. The details of the Big E's battles are made personal because the author names the sailors and aviators involved in the operations. This is the best account of the Big E's history that I have ever read.
