Media reviews

"At last a gap has been filled about Royal Navy (RN) World War II aviation by the author's book in the Osprey's Aircraft of the Aces series... The text is outstanding in describing the exploits of FAA pilots who achieved ace status and some who came very close. First-person accounts of the pilots make the text come alive... I consider this book a must for my library and recommend it for all those interested in the RN's FAA." -CDR Doug Siegfried, USN (Ret), The Hook (Winter 2008)

"A specific, important title military collections will relish." -California Bookwatch (July 2007)

"This book covers [the Fleet Air Arm pilots'] exploits with first hand accounts of the action, a superb choice of photographs and the excellent profiles of Chris Davey. Overall, it is a book that both historians and modelers alike will find to be invaluable and one that I can recommend with confidence." -Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com
