Ninety-five veterans of the British Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm share gripping personal accounts of their service in the twentieth Century following World War II.

The Fleet Air Arm has always had an elite status and an image of 'derring-do' and living on the edge.

To mark the Millennium, ninety-five members of the Fleet Air Arm Officer's Association have recalled their experiences of over fifty-five years of post war naval flying.

These first-person accounts pull no punches. Some are highly amusing, others serious, even tragic. Covered are the piston-engined planes, early jets and supersonic nuclear-capable fighter-bombers, as well as the full range of helicopters so vital in many theatres.

Fly Navy is a unique and entertaining anthology of flying stories, which will delight all with even a passing interest in service life and aviation.

The subtitle says it all—this is how it was—for better or for worse.

Praise for Fly Navy
"This book is an excellent read and provides an insight to the operations of the Naval Air Arm in many parts of the world over a six-decade period. Highly recommended." —Richard K Parkhurst, IPMS Portsmouth
