Year: 2020 Language: english Author: David Hobbs Genre: History Format: EPUB Quality: eBook Pages count: 640 Print length Description: In 1945 the most powerful fleet in the Royal Navy's history was centred on nine aircraft carriers. This book charts the post-war fortunes of this potent strike force; its decline in the face of diminishing resources, its final fall at the hands of uncomprehending politicians, and its recent resurrection in the form of the _Queen Elizabeth_ class carriers, the largest ships ever built for the Royal Navy. This book combines narratives of these operations with a clear analysis of the strategic and political background, benefiting from the author's personal experience of both carrier flying and the workings of Whitehall. This new paperback edition will be welcomed by historians and enthusiasts and has now particular significance as Britain once again embraces carrier aviation.
