Pete Clayton, CDR USN (Ret) is one of the leading authorities on this long serving US Navy aircraft carrier and a major contributor to the US Navy Tailhook Association Newsletter. He has put together a history of the MIDWAY from her commissioning at the last days of WWII, thru to her decommissioning in 1992, covering her 47 year career. Covered are her days in the post-WWII world of naval aviation as a straight deck carrier, the early jet aircraft era and her numerous modifications and re-configuration changes to an angled deck carrier, as well as additional flight deck expansions.

PLEASE WAIT FOR INVOICE BEFORE PAYING IMPORTANT NOTICE- AS OF MAY 14th, 2007, THE US POSTAL SYSTEM HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED INTERNATIONAL MAIL RATES - ALL SURFACE MAIL HAS BEEN DROPPED, THERE WILL ONLY BE TWO CLASSES OF AIR MAIL= PRIORITY OR FIRST CLASS, AND THE RATES HAVE GONE UP SUBSTANTIALLY. FURTHER IMPORTANT NOTICE - AS OF 2016 U.S. POSTAGE RATES HAVE BEEN RAISED AGAIN QUITE A LOT. IT LOOKS LIKELY THAT POSTAGE WILL RISE EVERY YEAR IN THE FUTURE. WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST THESE NEW RATES WILL ACTUALLY BE, SO PLEASE BE PATIENT. WE ARE EXPERIENCING 2 – 6 WEEKS AS BEFORE DEPENDING ON THE CLASS OF AIR MAIL USED AND IF ITEM IS HELD UP IN CUSTOMS, BUT SOMETIMES FOR LONGER FOR NO KNOWN REASON. IT WILL TAKE AT LEAST THE TIMES STATED ABOVE. PLEASE DO NOT START ASKING WHERE IT IS IN A WEEK OR TWO AND ACCUSE ME OF NOT SENDING THE ITEM - SLOW DELIVERY TIMES BY THE POST OFFICE ARE NOT MY FAULT, PLEASE BE PREPARED TO WAIT THE AVERAGE TIMES I HAVE STATED. ( due to be budget shortfalls and massive job cuts, and projected closing of many distribution centers, that are being implemented by the US Post Office- we are already seeing delivery times longer than was seen previously – please be patient ) WE HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR OVER 40 YEARS & WE KNOW BY BITTER EXPERIENCE JUST HOW SLOW THE MAIL CAN BE. IF YOU BID ON SOMETHING AND THE POSTAGE IS TOO HIGH, I WILL CANCEL THE SALE AT YOUR REQUEST WITH NO ADVERSE COMMENTS. IF YOU WISH A POSTAL QUOTE BEFORE BIDDING , JUST ASK ME. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING .
