In less than six years the Fleet Air Arm grew from a small force,
limited in numbers,manpower and material,to a powerful startegic weapon as large as the pre-war Royal
Air Force in terms of effective front-line aircraft.Conceived and initially employed as an extension of the big guns of the Fleet,naval aviation was developed to the point where the aircraft carrier became the vital ship in any formation,
offensive or defensive.
Carrier-based aircraft supported every major amphibious operation from the landings in Norway in April
1940 right through to the re-occupation of Singapore in September
1945,with the sole exception of Dunkirk.Complemented by many action photographs,this book tells the story of operations taken part in by the carrier-borne aircraft,
including the difficulties experienced with aircraft equipment,
and the expansion of the Fleet Air Arm. Volume I of an intended two-volume work,by the Royal Navy's official historian,covering the carrier operations of the RN and describing the activities and operation of them.The second volume is intended to deal with the work of the Fleet Air Arm units not directly engaged in aircraft carrier operations,but which contributed so much to the fine operational record of the Fleet
Air Arm during WW2.
