More than 1,000 feet long and crewed by as many as 5,000 sailors, the U.S. aircraft carrier has been called a skyscraper on its side. In time for National U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier Month this November, the new collector's edition from Air & Space/Smithsonian explains the complex systems at work on this technological wonder, reveals the traditions honored on carrier decks, and narrates the history of carriers, from the USS Langley, commissioned in 1922, to the new USS Gerald R. Ford.
