Hardcover. Condition: New. Search and rescue operations were the function of the first Royal Navy helicopters, but they became increasingly important for anti-submarine work and inserting troops into inaccessible battle zones. Recollections from pilots and crew in this volume range from training in the 1950s to action in the Falklands.
Hardcover. Condition: New. The final volume in this series focuses on life in the service over accounts of the aircraft and operations. Personnel from below the flight deck as well as pilots and crew recall memorable characters, amusing anecdotes, tragedies, near misses and exciting actions, including liaisons with allied foreign navies.

Hardback. Condition: New. During five years of research for the four volumes of the Fleet Air Arm Boys book series covering the post-war FAA, former personnel not only contributed a huge quantity of stories but also sent many thousands of photographs, largely taken by themselves, and mostly never previously seen. It soon became clear that what was needed was a stand-alone photograph-heavy book, showing off many of these superb photos to best effect by giving them up to a full page or more with high quality reproduction. Whereas the 'Boys' books are all about fascinating stories supported by photos, here you have fascinating photos supported by some explanation and the occasional short supporting story. The opportunity has also been taken to expand the coverage to cover the whole history from the start of the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) before the First World War to today, illustrating the changing equipment and roles of the service. Coverage is not limited to just a large representative group of aircraft, but also includes many ships and air stations. Most importantly, air and ground crew are highlighted throughout, both at work and at play, and those who lost their lives are suitably remembered.Flying with the Navy is a once-in-a-lifetime publication and a must-have for all devotees of this truly astounding branch of the armed forces.
