In World War II, more than one half of all U-boats sunk by U. S. aviation - including the first two - were destroyed by Quonset-trained shore and carrier-based squadrons. In the years following World War II, Quonset remained a premier industrial naval air station, sending squadrons or overhauling equipment for use in the Korean, Vietnam, and Cold War conflicts. For thirty-four years and through four wars, the Quonset Point Naval Air Station stood proud and tall on behalf of the United States military. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sean Paul Milligan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738589586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738589589\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.50w x 0.20d","brand":"Sean Paul Milligan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46140686696703,"sku":"9780738589589","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a66c4f59-0deb-456b-bbc3-33b866fd84f1.jpg?v=1726596747","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/quonset-point-naval-air-station-sean-paul-milligan-9780738589589","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
