Distinguishing the books titled Find, Fix and Strike

John Winton and Terence Horsley wrote separate Fleet Air Arm books under the same title, while differing editions and market titles add further confusion.

Question

Are there two different naval-aviation books titled Find, Fix and Strike?

Short answer

Yes. John Winton and Terence Horsley wrote separate works under that title, and edition naming creates additional ambiguity.

Notes

More than one work carries the title Find, Fix and Strike, and British and American editions sometimes appeared under different names. The books discussed include a Fleet Air Arm history by John Winton and a separate work by Lieutenant Commander Terence Horsley. Winton's book also appeared in different editions. The author and publication details are therefore more reliable identifiers than the cover title alone. Checking the cited bibliography helps distinguish references that may otherwise look like the same volume.
