Less than five years after naval aviation led the forces that defeated Imperial Japan that very organization was in serious trouble. The force had been drastically reduced and; despite the Korean War; growing sentiment supported by no less than the chairman of the Joint Chiefs argued that the new Air Force could do anything naval aviation might be required to do. Meanwhile; the naval aviation mishap rate soared. The very survival of naval aviation was at stake. It took fifty years to turn this around. Today; in spite of hot wars; cold wars; contingencies; and peacetime operations in support of friends and allies; the Navy and Marine Corps accident rate is at least as good as that of the Air Force; and it approaches that of commercial aviation. Gear Up; Mishaps Down explains that this accomplishment was achieved through dedicated and professional leadership; a focus on lessons learned from mishaps and near-mishaps; a willingness to learn from other enterprises; and by better leadership; training; maintenance; supply and more.
