This book was the first complete reference to all the aircraft flown by the Naval Wing of the Royal Flying Corps, the Royal Naval Air Service and the Fleet Air Arm. 

The book starts with a concise history of British naval aviation and the evolution of the flying deck with its' many innovations. There then follows a detail examination of each aircraft manufacturer in alphabetical order, with each type used listed in chronological order. This is embellished with over 360 photographs and many three view diagrams.

Another first class reference from Putnam.

In good condition with some wear to the dust jacket and a small inscription inside the fron cover.
