World War II: The Aircraft Carriers

Since 1945 aircraft carriers have proved that they have an unrivaled ability to deliver massive firepower against the enemy, at the same time as possessing the traditional flexibility of a navel force. Carriers and more particularly the aircraft they support have been subject to constant development. This colour documentary traces that development from its very beginnings in the First World War.
