British Naval Aviation is a smaller companion to Sturtivant's much larger Fleet Air Arm reference works. Its stated span, 1917 to 1990, gives the photographs and operational accounts a long view of British naval aviation. The volume combines pictures, factual detail, plans, and 37 chapters rather than following a single campaign or aircraft type. An older, second-hand copy can still serve as a compact reference for the people, machines, and practices of the Fleet Air Arm.
