The Disastrous Fall and Triumphant Rise of the Fleet Air Arm from 1912 to 1945 by Henry Amyas Adlam
An engaging and potentially controversial critique of Fleet Air Arm operations during an immensely critical period of world history. Supplemented by a collection of interesting photographs, the work is penned by a former naval fighter pilot with first-hand experience of front-line practices during the Second World War.
Henry 'Hank' Adlam was educated at Harrow School. After his wartime Naval service he, like many demobbed personnel, tried his hand at many occupations and led an intriguing civilian life (another book in the making). He is a well-known Bristol character and, having lectured for some years at the University, frequently appears in the local media. Still retaining the wicked sense of humour that is frequently demonstrated in this book, he continues to write despite being registered blind. He is the author of On and Off the Flight Deck: Recollections of a Naval Fighter Pilot in World War Two, published by Pen and Sword in 2007.
