Sinopsis
USS Ranger (CV-4) was the U.S. Navy's first aircraft carrier to be built as such from the keel up. In peacetime, the Ranger helped maintain Franklin D. Roosevelt's Good Neighbour Policy, served as a platform for the development of new methods for the operation of carriers and carrier aircraft, continued the Navy's work in cold-weather flight operations, pioneered director-controlled anti-aircraft fire, and trained many naval aviators. During World War II, the Ranger occupied centre stage in Operation Torch (against the Vichy French positions in North Africa in 1942) and Operation Leader (against German shipping in 1943), which was the U.S. Navy's only carrier operation above the Arctic Circle during the war.

Críticas
"Cressman's care for his subject is matched by his publisher. Handsomely produced, the book is well-illustrated with many of the photographs appearing for the first time. The illustrations neatly dovetail with the text, and the captions are themselves replete with added detail. The glossary and index are both models of comprehensiveness. This study should be acquired by any library with strong holdings in naval history." --THE JOURNAL OF MILITARY HISTORY
