O knihe
The United States Naval Air Station, Quonset Point,
RI, originally built as a Neutrality Patrol Seaplane
Base, eventually became a unique and fundamentally
important asset to the American armed forces. In
World War II, more than one half of all U-boats sunk by
U.S. aviation--including the first two--were destroyed
by Quonset-trained shore and carrier-based squadrons.
In the years following World War II, Quonset remained
a premier industrial naval air station, sending squadrons
or overhauling equipment for use in the Korean,
Vietnam, and Cold War conflicts. For thirty-four years
and through four wars, the Quonset Point Naval Air
Station stood proud and tall on behalf of the United
States military.
