A 2002 study by W. Harrison is recommended for a fuller account of the Fairey Swordfish and Albacore. It covers both aircraft and includes useful photographic material. The recommendation follows a broader warning that repeated popular narratives can crowd out more careful technical and operational history. The book offers a route into more detailed Fleet Air Arm historiography.
