A complete history of the wings at sea. This is the story of naval aviation and of the men and women who fought for it through its obscure beginnings in 1910 from the Persian Gulf War and on to the present. Pilots, Man Your Planes is not a superficial account based on archival research. It is a complete history woven together from interviews and stories of the architects and visionaries who were there and helped to influence and develop naval aviation thoughout the twentieth century.

Wilbur H. Morrison is the author of eleven books and is considered by many to be the leading authority on military and commercial aviation. Currently, Morrison lives in Fallbrook, California.
"This is Wilbur Morrison's third book on naval aviation, and its covers the entire history in depth... Through extensive interviews, Morrison tells how well or badly naval aviation performed in all wars in the 20th century. Most importantly, for future generations, he evaluates the lessons learned, often the hard way, with suggestions on how these mistakes can be avoided in the future." -- James D. Ramage - Rear Admiral, USN - Retired
