The book, Aircraft Carrier: The Majestic Weapon (Weapon Book No 3), represents a concise but complete review of the development of the aircraft carrier from its halting beginning in the initial post World War I era through the mass production of large purpose built vessels that helped to determine the outcome of World War II to the modern era of the nuclear powered "super-carrier".  While the aircraft carrier was the undisputed capital ship of the initial post World War II period of time, by the late 1960s nuclear powered and armed submarines began to challenge this supremacy.  "Aircraft Carrier: The Majestic Weapon (Weapons Book No 3)" suggests that just as the aircraft carrier supplanted the battleship as the primary capital ship in the immediate post World War II era, technology changes including sophisticated missiles and rockets may yet lead to future diminished role for the modern "super-carrier".  The major sections of "Aircraft Carrier: The Majestic Weapon (Weapons Book No 3)" are as follows: 1) Genesis; 2) Early development; 3) The approach to war; 4) Birth of a new era; 5) The torpedo plane proves itself; 6) Carrier meets carrier; 7) Incredible victory; 8) Carriers turn the tide in the Pacific; 9) And in the Atlantic; 10) Grappling in the central blue; 11) Sovereign of the seas; 12) Appendix and 13) Bibliography.  In addition to an informative narrative, "Aircraft Carrier: The Majestic Weapon (Weapons Book No 3)" includes the following features: 1) Approximately 106 black and white photographs; 2) About 11 black and white illustrations and 3) 5 maps.  This book is 160 pages and is in very good condition.  The author is Donald Macintyre.  Edition published in 1968.
