"This book is a timely reminder of the fighter aircraft that deployed on those carriers, given that the new HMS Queen Elizabeth, the first British carrier to operate fighters after a decade, is now on its first operational deployment. Each British naval fighter type -- from the Fairey Firefly to the F-35B Lightning II -- is covered in sequence of its service, including a technical description, operational history, and personal accounts from the air crews and maintenance personnel.-- "Seapower"
