Four Random Books 26: The Sturviant Fleet Air Arm Collection

Ray Sturtivant's Squadrons of the Fleet Air Arm follows units back to their constituent flights, illustrated by 750 Naval Air Squadron's wartime training moves.

Fleet Air Arm Aircraft Since 1946 follows the service's shift from American wartime types and aging piston aircraft toward British jets and helicopters.

Serial-level records trace Fairey Firefly MB584 through tests, squadrons, shore stations, and aircraft carriers.

The aircraft reference places late Seafires beside the Seafang and Supermarine Attacker during the overlap between piston and jet naval aviation.

Fleet Air Arm Aircraft, Units and Ships, 1920-1939 combines squadron histories with detailed color schemes useful to historians and modelers.

A 446 Flight diary reconstructs the aircraft, wireless difficulties, reconnaissance tasks, and carrier strikes of a 1928 Mediterranean exercise.

An interwar exercise transposes a Grand Fleet-versus-Germany scenario onto Mediterranean geography to test convoy defense, scouting, and fleet deployment.

The four-book collection joins squadron histories, individual aircraft records, interwar unit diaries, color schemes, and design specifications for Fleet Air Arm research.

A British aircraft specifications volume supplies the design history, sea trials, performance figures, engine, armament, and torpedo load of the Blackburn Shark.
