Its "Fly Navy" motto is well known.
At first glance, this book would appear to be a general history of British Naval Aviation. It is not. Rather, it is largely a collection of oral histories and photographs linked through loose analysis. This makes the title somewhat misleading but does not mar the overall quality of the endeavor.
