From torpedoes to aviation Washington Irving Chambers and technological innovation in the new Navy, 1876-1913 by Stephen K Stein
"An excellent biographical study.... Dr. Stein's book is the result of exhaustive research in Captain Chambers's personal papers at the Library of Congress, supplemented by thorough research in Navy materials at the National Archives. He has succeeded in providing a comprehensive and accurate picture of the difficulties of early naval aviation and has also given us an outstanding discussion of the efforts to modernize naval administration, technology, and strategy in the pre-World War I era." - Herbert A. Johnson, author of Wingless Eagle: U.S. Army Aviation through World War 1"
