This is the first,and only (then 1999), book to tell the full stories of the last three 'Ark Royals' in detail; the wartime 'Ark' which saw so much action in the first two years of WW2; the 'Ark' of the 1950s,60s,and 70s which,during the years of intense antagonism between the superpowers,projected British maritime air power all over the world; and the present 'Ark Royal' which will take the Fleet Air Arm into the 21st century.
The in-depth research has allowed the author to cover the careers of all three carriers,through each year of their operational service with the Royal Navy. There are 165 top quality photographs, including 15 in colour,covering their careers,from the launching of the third 'Ark Royal' in 1937,right through to the present 'Ark Royal's final deployment in the last decade of the 20th century.
