Skillfully assembled story of the Fleet Air Arm their operations
Highly readable introduction ad overview of the FAA. The book seem based on primary sources, some cited and other the seem very familiar. Missing is how the FAA grew out of the RAF. American officers served with the FAA. Was the constructive? Later development is skipped. There would seem to be a place for Eric Brown.

Sad tale of brave men
The Fleet Air Arm achieved a a lot in Ww2. But it was an almost suicidal occupation. My grandfather wished me to join it. Not a place to be.
Well written tribute.

Most Excellent!
This is absolutely one of the best books on WW2 i've EVER read!!! Detailed but exciting, almost completely devoid of fowl language, and of a subject that is not covered as much as many others, but just as important!

exceptional
Really good, really well written. Very entertaining the perfect blend of facts and story telling. The casualty was exceptionally high . I found it hard to believe that England used biplanes to such a large extant.

Good Read
The author does justice and honor to a less known theater of the war. Provides good details to the effort of the British Pacific Fleet.

Good account
Some surprising information on the British involvement we don't hear of. It makes sense though. I'm surprised by the low technology at the beginning.
