Neglected Skies provides good reflection on the tactics used previously by the Royal Navy against the Italians in the Mediterranean and against the Germans in the Atlantic." --Aerospace "This book ... gathers together a host of useful thoughts about the problems of block obsolescence and the integration of new capabilities within a fleet in peacetime." --Naval War College Review "Given how much has been written on both of the world wars, it is rare to identify an entirely new angle and shed light on a subject that has truly never been detailed before. This unique freshness is what makes Angus Britts' Neglected Skies: The Demise of British Naval Power in the Far East, 1922-1944 such a worthwhile read. Neglected Skies covers a wide period of history, as noted by the title, that takes the British Navy from the heights of its might to the point of near decay when the world needed them most to succeed. Well-researched and clearly written with a passion for both naval and aviation history, Neglected Skies does a service to the ever-growing trove of world war accounts." --Air and Space Power Journal "Britts's work is a success…. [He] communicates the depth of naval strategy and the technicalities of naval aviation well enough that one unfamiliar with these things before picking up the work can easily make sense of what is an understandably complicated field." --H-War "Engagingly written, Neglected Skies provides an accessible combination of a detailed operational history of an often-overlooked naval battle and a succinct explanation of the Royal Navy's relative decline in the interwar period." --The Journal of Military History
