Entry Text: GODLEY, John, Baron Kilbracken. Bring Back My Stringbag: Swordfish Pilot at War. viii, 227p., illus., index. London: Davies, 1979. ISBN: 0432081607.

An irreverent account of a naval career in the FAA in which the author rose from bluejacket to Lieutenant Commander, flew 67 operational sorties, and met and conquered most of the hazards to which wartime pilots were exposed, notably in MAC conversions and in Nairana on the Murmansk Run.
