Two great reads on the Fleet Air Arm are

Carrier Pilot by Norman Hanson and
War In A Stringbag by Charles Lamb
although Hanson's book is hard to find

Thanks for the tip, Keith. I just checked in on the 'Net to my local
library and put a "hold" on one of their copies.
Perhaps it is only hard to find in the UK? My local public library is a
small one in a small suburban community. I always think that if my little
library has a copy of something, then just about any other town in North
America must have it!!

Cheers.

The libraries likely have it but since it was last reprinted in the 1980's
its hard to find in bookshops.

Yes my dad was looking for Fate is the Hunter before he died to give to me,
but as you say its been out of print here for a while, we actually found the
book after he passed away and we were having a clear out, so i got it in the
end; i'll treasure that!

ENEMY COAST AHEAD by Guy Gibson is well worth reading.

For a somewhat different perspective, see if you can find "Evidence in
Camera" by Constance Babbington-Smith.
Story of British Photographic reconaissance in WW2.
Lots of cloak and dagger stuff in the period directly before the war and
lots about the changes in the way the job was
done and the tools (particularly the aircraft) used to do it. Some
fascinating stories about some incredible flyers there.
Adrian Warburton being one that springs to mind.
Some fascinating stuff and famous names in there.
It details Saint Exuperys last mission, (MIA).
The explanations of how the interpreters worked is interesting in its
own right.

Published as "Air Spy" in the U.S.
May I also recomment "Slide RUle" by Nevil Shute Norway.
