SKUA! THE ROYAL NAVY'S DIVE-BOMBER
Written by Peter C. Smith.

Published by Pen & Sword Aviation.

Fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper.
The Blackburn Skua was the first monoplane to be designed and built for the Royal Navy in the late 1930s. As a result of continuous debate, it became a compromise between the Navy's desire for a carrier-based dive-bomber and the Air Ministry's preference for a hybrid able to perform in a limited fighter role, which proved incompatible in practice. As a dive-bomber, the Royal Navy put the design to good use from the outset of WWII. This book relates how the final design was created, how the dive-bombing technique was developed and perfected by naval pilots and traces the wartime operational career of the type with many first-hand accounts. Black boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos. 271 pages (including index). ISBN: 1844154556. A super copy, looks unread. Dustwrapper is just lightly creased to top of spine.
