Blackburn Blackburn is used to illustrate command work carried out from an aircraft. Its observer accommodation is described as providing room for a full plotting chart. That makes airborne observation useful for organizing information and helping direct operations as well as spotting an individual target. The example adds a command-support role to the list of functions a fleet would lose without carrier aviation.
