Small Warships

This substantial book contains more than 550 pages of interesting and entertaining text, interspersed with numerous, equally interesting photographs. Right from the beginning, the author’s personal experience with the Fleet Air Arm, and his continuing enthusiasm is obvious. Nowhere is this more obvious than when describing the period of time during which he served with the Royal Navy. His enthusiasm is infectious, and the reader feels a personal involvement in the highlights and troughs of this 70 year long story, which still continues. Although much of the book is about meetings and decision making by politicians, it is far from tedious. The author’s enthusiasm comes through the text, and the narrative is interspersed with accounts of various conflicts making this a very good read, not only for those with an interest in the Fleet Air Arm but also for anybody with an interest in the defence of this country in the second half of the 20th century.
