Скачать или смотреть USS Langley CV 1 - "America's 1st Aircraft Carrier"

USS Langley (CV-1) was more than just the U.S. Navy’s first aircraft carrier—it was a bold experiment that laid the foundation for modern naval aviation. Converted from the collier Jupiter (AC-3) in the early 1920s, Langley served as a floating testbed for carrier-based flight operations, proving the feasibility of launching and recovering aircraft at sea. Though she was slow and unarmored, her impact on naval warfare was immense, shaping the tactics and technology that would define carrier operations for decades to come.
