Clayton, Pete USS Midway CV-41

The book contains 114 bw-photos, with four color photos on the inside and outside covers. The text and photos don't spend too much time discussing the design and construction of "Midway", spending only two pages on the topic. The following 18 pages cover "Midway's" first 10 years of operations in the Atlantic Fleet, then devotes a few pages to the SCB-110 angled flight deck conversion. After the reconstruction, "Midway" served in the Pacific fleet for eight years, including combat operations over Vietnam. In 1966 she again returned to the yards for modernization, returning to the fleet and subsequent Vietnam service in 1971. This book continues to discuss her various deployments and alterations to her decommissioning in the early 1990's. "Midway" was donated to the San Diego Aircraft Carrier Museum in 2003. The last part of the book is a matrix of "Midways" various deployments and aircraft complements.

After the refit, the "Midway" served in the Pacific Fleet for eight years, including combat missions in the Vietnam War. In 1966, she returned to the shipyards again for modernisation and returned to the fleet in 1971 for her subsequent Vietnam deployment. This book documents the various deployments and conversions up to her decommissioning in the early 1990s.
