Foreword

I was asked by my publisher if I had anybody in mind to write a foreword. I really didn't know anyone suitable. I've never actually met anyone from either the US Navy or the Royal Navy, much less from Japan. The closest I could think of was Adolf Hitler. I'm three handshakes away from Hitler. A friend of mine has a friend in Germany that once shook hands with Hitler. On reflection I decided that Hitler was not a good choice. After all, what does he know about carrier operations? Which is why the book has no foreword.
