Aircraft Carriers – Rulers of the Oceasns: Part 1 | History Documentary
Watch ‘Aircraft Carriers – Part 2 here: https://youtu.be/NJnH_0NQEFw
The first part of this two-part documentary series begins by following young men and women on their way to “earning their Wings.” In a rigorous course of instruction, they learn to lift off and land a
supersonic aircraft on the deck of an aircraft carrier in the middle of the ocean, still considered one of the most difficult and hazardous tasks.
Eugene Ely first attempted the death-defying feat in 1911. Ely’s act of landing a fragile bi-plane on a make-shift wooden deck would eventually transform into a weapon of unprecedented power and influence.
The episode concludes with World War II and the U.S. victory in the Pacific, when carrier aviation reigned supreme. However, Naval soon would face a threat to its existence — not from an enemy source, but from a competing technology — the nuclear bomb.

The history of fighter pilots and their planes. These guys were always the heroes. Full of courage and cunning. Not that other soldiers are not just as courageous and cunning.They absolutely are. But flying has always been something spectacular and if you are able to fly a plane, well, that spectacular rubs off.
My dad and brother were fighter pilots in the Navy. 🇺🇸
Really great documentary
There's a significant difference between being a pilot and being a Naval Aviator!
I always thought pilots having mustaches had to do with something about the face masks rubbing on their lip
Really amazing documentary. I was unaware of the men and the means that formed the basis for carrier doctrine. Thank you for creating this!
As of January 2024, there are 47 active aircraft carriers in the world operated by fourteen navies.
