The Supercarriers is a comprehensive historical overview with extensive photos, maps, drawings, and operational detail, including all air-wing deployments. It covers all of the
Forrestal class supercarriers and the follow-on ships, which are basically of the same design. The book is heavily illustrated with over one hundred illustrations and maps covering the Western Pacific, Vietnam, Mediterranean, Middle East, Indian Ocean, and Caribbean. The front end paper illustration shows the
Saratoga as representative of the
Forrestal class with port and starboard profiles and an overhead view. The rear end paper displays similar views of the
Constellation as part of the
Kitty Hawk class.
