Description
During the 1920s and 1930s Adm. Joseph Mason Reeves (1878–1948) emerged as the most important flag officer in American naval aviation. He took command of the U.S. Navy’s nascent carrier arm during a critical period and, imagining the aircraft carrier’s possibilities as an offensive weapon, transformed it from a small auxiliary command in support of the battle line into a powerful strike force that could attack far in advance of the fleet. All the Factors of Victory is the first full-length biography of this eminent naval officer, whose story makes an important contribution to our understanding of not only the development of carrier warfare but also how interservice rivalries and the development of new technologies affected the Navy’s mission.
