| Entry Text: | HOARE, John. Tumult in the Clouds: A Story of the Fleet Air Arm. 208p., index. London: Joseph, 1976. ISBN: 0718114108.
The author joined the FAA in 1939 and after training was posted to Victorious, from which he flew to hunt the Bismarck. He then joined Rodney's Walrus crew and served there for some time, notably in the Pedestal convoy. In September 1942 he transferred to night fighters. In July 1944 he moved on as Air Staff Officer to the escort carrier Thane and finally in January 1945 went to naval headquarters in Ottawa. An enjoyable account. |
