The volume catalogs every aircraft type used by the Fleet Air Arm between 1920 and 1939 and sets out colors and markings squadron by squadron. Its illustrations give modelers a practical guide to service schemes rather than generic factory finishes. The accompanying flight and unit histories identify the organizations that flew those aircraft. Together, the illustrations and histories connect an airframe's appearance with its squadron, period, and operational setting. The book is both a visual reference and a history of British interwar naval aviation units.
