Re: FAA Role in the Pacific.?
VERY good thread guys. Well done. Heavy discussion w/o personal attacks!
Keep one thing in mind regarding the armored deck RN carriers versus the non-armored USN decks: the USN carriers could be (and were) built much quicker w/o that armored flight deck, and held more a/c (always important), so its problematical whether those trade-offs were worth the occassional loss of a carrier due to Kamakazi attacks. I hate to be cold-blooded, but maybe it was better to have more a/c and more carriers.
