About this title

Synopsis

A unique photo essay of the 47-year odyssey of the historic aircraft carrier USS Midway. More than 225,000 men served aboard the longest-serving carrier in U.S. Navy history. More than 200 never-before published photos taken by Midway sailors are featured. Midway Memories is a unique insight into a floating city at sea--population: 4,500--sailing at the tip of America's sword.

About the Author

Scott McGaugh also is the author of Midway Magic, the first book to chronicle the unmatched 47-year odyssey of the aircraft carrier USS Midway. He interviewed more than 300 Midway sailors and beginning in 1996 played a leading role in getting the USS Midway to San Diego, Calif. in 2003. Scott McGaugh became the marketing director for the Midway when it opened as a naval aviation museum in 2004. In two short years, the Midway Museum became the most-visited historic naval ship museum in the continental United States.
