During five years of research for the four volumes of the Fleet Air
Arm Boys book series covering the post-war FAA, former personnel
not only contributed a huge quantity of stories but also sent many
thousands of photographs, largely taken by themselves, and mostly
never previously seen. It soon became clear that what was needed
was a stand-alone photograph-heavy book, showing off many of these
superb photos to best effect by giving them up to a full page or
more with high quality reproduction.  Whereas the ‘Boys’
books are all about fascinating stories supported by photos, here
you have fascinating photos supported by some explanation and the
occasional short supporting story. The opportunity has also been
taken to expand the coverage to cover the whole history from the
start of the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) before the First World
War to today, illustrating the changing equipment and roles of the
service. Coverage is not limited to just a large representative
group of aircraft, but also includes many ships and air stations.
Most importantly, air and ground crew are highlighted throughout,
both at work and at play, and those who lost their lives are
suitably remembered. Flying with the Navy is a once-in-a-lifetime
publication and a must-have for all devotees of this truly
astounding branch of the armed forces.
