'This [...] is a serious collaborative academic piece by our foremost naval thinkers and will, I would wager, be an important book of reference for future generations.' The Naval Review '... this book must be read by everyone who has an interest in the history of the Royal Navy and those who take an intelligent interest in British defence issues during the twenty-first century, the arguments described are unlikely to end for many years to come. I recommend this book highly.' The Mariner's Mirror 'Overall, this is an excellent collection of chapters and an important contribution to the historiography. It covers the 100 years of British naval aviation fully and ably demonstrates just how much it has achieved in the face of constant adversity.' The Second World War Military Operation Research Group 'Rarely does a reviewer have the opportunity to use superlatives in describing a book, but Tim Benbow's team of authors have indeed done a superlative job in a book that takes the historiography of the Royal Navy Flying Service and Fleet Air Arm to a new and much higher level... The work of Benbow's team is highly recommended.' International Journal of Maritime History
