Question

Are there good ebook-format books on the design, doctrine, and service of the 1942 light fleet carriers?

Short answer

Kev Darling's books are suggested for digital reading, while Neil McCart offers another useful treatment whose ebook availability is uncertain.

Notes

The reading suggestions favor Kev Darling's broader carrier and Fleet Air Arm books for the requested ebook format. Their coverage is in chapters rather than a volume devoted entirely to the light fleet carriers. Neil McCart's book is also recommended, but an ebook edition cannot be confirmed during the discussion. Its hardcover is quoted at about £100 at the time, making access a practical constraint.
