The Evolution of Fighter Direction and its Impact on World War II in the Pacific

Abstract

The evolution of fighter direction doctrine and the implementation of emergent technologies that greatly enhanced the fleet's protection and significantly impacted the success of the US Navy during World War II in the Pacific. This paper traces the evolution of fighter direction doctrine and application of emergent technologies from the interwar period until decisive victory was achieved in World War II in the Pacific. The US Navy's ability to develop a learning organization that quickly synthesized lessons learned from battle experience and apply innovative change in fighter direction ensured the organization's success.
