This book covers the author's flying career from the finish of
World War II until his final appointment as CO of the Naval Test
Squadron at Boscombe Down. Having had an outstanding wartime record
'Mike' Crosley became heavily involved with the introduction of
Britain's first carrier-borne jet aircraft. The book explains how
modern techniques, such as the angled flight deck, steam catapult
and deck landing mirror sights were developed and tested. At
Boscombe down he developed the 'hand's-off' launch technique for
the Buccaneer which saved it from probable cancellation at a very
difficult time for British naval aviation.
