USS Ranger (CV-4) was the U.S. Navys first aircraft carrier to be built as such from the keel up. The Ranger helped maintain FDRs Good Neighbor Policy, served as a platform for the development of new methods for the operation of carriers and carrier aircraft, pioneered director-controlled antiaircraft fire, and trained many naval aviators. During World War II, the Ranger occupied center stage in Operation Torch (against the Vichy French positions in North Africa in 1942) and Operation Leader (against German shipping in 1943), which was the Navys only carrier operation above the Arctic Circle during the war. Robert J. Cressmans emphasis on the human element in both peace and war reinforces his observation that carriers, like people, have multifaceted personalities, represented by not only the ship and its company, but also the air group for which it serves as home., ISBN13: 9781574885194 ISBN10: 1574885197 Material Type: paperback
