Book Description
BLURB Kenneth Whiting was well-known in the Navy of his day. During his early years after graduating from the Naval Academy, he commanded several early submarines and was known as the first man to escape from a downed submarine. After being trained to fly by Orville Wright, he was the first naval officer to conceptualize a ship that was to become the most important in the US Navy--the aircraft carrier. After submitting his first three unsuccessful proposals to build such a ship, his creativity and aggressiveness were recognized at the start of World War I when he was asked to lead the Navy's First Aeronautical Detachment to France. The FAD was the first American unit to travel to Europe, and within a few months, he negotiated a plan with the French Navy for a system to build naval air stations and train his men in anti-submarine warfare from the air. When the US Navy Department approved the plan, he was transferred to the command of NAS Killingholme on England's North Sea Coast. He built Killingholme into the largest naval air station in Britain. Returning to the US at the end of the war, he found the Navy Department much more willing to talk about building aircraft carriers. Upon the approval of this new ship type, he was placed in charge of converting or building the first six. Along the way, he developed the new systems for the operation of launching and landing aircraft on the new flat flight decks. For his developmental work with the first six carriers and commanding two of them, he is frequently called the Father of the Aircraft Carrier in books and publications about the ship, which was to take the place of the battleship as the king of the seas. Along the way, naval aviation took advantage of his ability to effectively and smoothly advocate for many of the then-fledgling naval aviation's important goals in the public arena. Because he had publicly spearheaded much of those goals, the battleship admirals who ran the Navy of that era were able to take revenge on him and prevent him from being promoted to admiral rank. His tragic death in the middle of World War II became part of the reason his name has been largely forgotten outside the Navy, but naval aviators know him because the field where they are all trained, Whiting Field NAS in Pensacola, is named for him. The military exploits of this American sailor are worth recounting, but the victories of Whiting and his family racing yachts on Long Island Sound make him even more interesting. The goal of this first biography of Kenneth Whiting is to enable those who empower one of today's most important functions--naval aviation--and the Americans who have benefitted from Whiting's work, to remember this hero of naval aviation and submarines.
