The men who ventured into the air in the Navy's first aircraft were not only daring - they had vision, persistence, and a nearly unlimited determination to convince the sceptics that their frail kite-like structures could someday possess military value. Wings for the Fleet is the story of their trials, tragedies, and triumphs.
