Airway Enterprise (1991) By Michael O'Leary and Eric Schulzinger
 
Perhaps the most famous vessel in the US Navy's 15-strong carrier fleet is the USS Enterprise (CVN-65), known as either the 'Big E' or 'Starship' to its 5000-man crew. Proud owner of the longest flight deck currently in service, the Enterprise adorns its 'roof' with the crack units of Carrier Air Wing II; VF-114 'Aardvarks' and VF-213 'Black Lions' with their F-14 Tomcats; VA-22 'Fighting Redcocks' and VA-94 'Mighty Shrikes equipped with A-7E Corsair IIs; the formidable A-6E Intruders of VA-95 'Green Lizards'; the EA-6B Prowlers of VAQ-135 'Black Ravens'; the all-seeing E-2C Hawkeyes of VAW-117 'Wallbangers'; and the whispering S-3A Vikings of VS-21 'Fighting Redtails'. This volume takes you aboard the ship and places you amongst the scorching, high-pressure world of flight deck ops, Enterprise-style. Illustrated with over 150 sharp action photographs taken on, or above, the 'Big E', and accompanied by a thoroughly exhaustive text, (this) is US naval aviation today at its finest.
