Ark Royal by Mike Rossiter

Excellent read containing two intertwined stories.  There is a good summary with plenty of detail on the Ark Royal's service combined with the search to find (spoilers) the wreck.


Harrowing descriptions of planes taking off and landing on the carrier, sometimes in very adverse weather.  Nicely varied and excellent flavour for the period, really made me think of how World in Flames naval mechanics do a pretty good simulation, even with the abstraction of timescale.
