Short answerUS Marine Corps Aviation Since 1912 is the recommended starting point, with fast-carrier development histories as related reading.
NotesUS Marine Corps Aviation Since 1912 is the recommended starting point for Robert M. Duvall's question. The book offers a direct route into the service's aviation history rather than treating Marine aircraft only as part of a broader carrier narrative. Books on the development of the fast carrier provide related reading, but the Marine aviation volume is the preferred introduction.
