Fleet Air Arm 1920-1939
by Ray Sturtivant
Between the two World Wars, the Royal Navy's carriers were provided with aircraft flown by flights and later squadrons of what was then the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Air Force. In addition, many battleships and cruisers were provided in the thirties with an aircraft or two fitted with floats and launched from catapults. The service was never very large, and it was not until May 1939 that the Admiralty gained full control over it.
This 48-page softback contains 98 well-captioned photographs illustrating the aircraft and carriers then in use. Tables list all the relevant units, and there are side-view drawings of the main types of aircraft flown with some information on colour schemes.
