The volume covers carrier operations across the postwar period as well as the Second World War. Its final chapter spans 1993 to 2010, carrying the first-hand record into the opening years of the twenty-first century. That range lets readers compare personal experience aboard carriers across different periods of war and peace. The book earns its recommendation through the context and detail preserved in those accounts.
