Escort carriers also stood off shore to supplement the cover given by land-based aircraft.

In this it was successful, setting a speed record for land-based aircraft.

"At the same time, they appear to have begun launching a large number of land-based aircraft."

One reason we have carriers is to keep land-based aircraft off our fleets.

After enemy fleets are found, the land-based aircraft will then sortie to attack.

Such a ban would not apply to nuclear weapons carried by land-based aircraft.

The wings are larger than on land-based aircraft for increased lift.

Air cover provided by land-based aircraft stopped only some of the Japanese attackers.

Instead, all attacks were carried out by carrier- or land-based aircraft.

Things went smoothly until after a few days we had to crash dive to escape a British land-based aircraft.
