Charles Lambe was not the Taranto aviator

Was the future First Sea Lord Charles Lambe an aviator at the Battle of Taranto?

No; he was a different man from the aviator in question, although Lambe later commanded HMS Illustrious.

The aviator associated with the Taranto attack was a different Lamb. Charles Lambe later commanded HMS Illustrious, but he was not the man flying from the carrier during the attack. The similar surname can easily collapse two naval-aviation careers into one. This correction keeps the future First Sea Lord's service distinct from that of the Taranto aviator.
