Just made a solid start on the latest novel. When the Fleet Air Arm was returned to the navy in 1937 it had a dreadful inventory of fairly useless aircraft as a legacy of neglect that would take some time to rectify. This book is once again partly based on my father's service. Having spent 1940 on exhange with the RAF for the Battle of Britain he was sent to Yeovilton to pass on some of his expertise before joining 888 Squadron in HMS Formidable in the Mediterranenan. The early years of the war were a steep learning curve for everyone. As usual I'm not quite sure how the story will end but most of it is written in my head now. I wonder if anyone will understand where it got the title from?
