EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The aim of this short paper is to underscore the historical importance of Naval Aviation not purely as combat aircraft flying from carriers and small ships to perform specific tasks, but as a cohesive organization procuring its own equipment and guiding its own training and doctrine. Historical examples will be used to demonstrate advantages and disadvantages of different naval aviation policies.
