Steve Bond is back with the final volume in this popular series.
Unlike his previous three tomes, with their focus on
air/rotorcraft, this book is uniquely dedicated to the personnel of
the Fleet Air Arm (FAA) themselves. Each chapter will concentrate
on the memories of contributors who served in a range of roles,
including those below the flight deck. Accounts will focus on the
everyday life upon an aircraft carrier as well as the extraordinary
challenges faced during operations. There is a fascinating chapter
covering exchange services with the RAF and other navies including
the French and US; and also insight into the Indian navy’s
experience with the Sea Hawk and Sea Harrier. Within the previous
volumes, we met some remarkable characters and there is a chapter
devoted to people’s memories of them. The closing section
entitled ‘Thoughts’ sees contributors reflect on their FAA
career with many deeply moving responses and discourses on the
future of the service. The book is heavily illustrated throughout
in colour and black and white with personal photographs from the
contributors, artwork and tongue-in-cheek cartoons for which the
FAA is famous. Volume Four is the perfect conclusion to the ongoing
post-war story of a truly astounding branch of the armed forces.
