| Entry Text: | POUNTNEY, Cyril. Uncle's War in the Fleet Air Arm. 155p., illus. Penzance: United Writers, 1986. ISBN: 0901976997.
The rambling reminiscences of a Swordfish pilot, known as Uncle because of his age. He volunteered in 1939, served in the UK until 1941, when his squadron went to Ark Royal. After her sinking he went to the replacement pool in Ceylon where he was shot down by a Japanese fighter. This was followed by a spell in the Naval Air Repair Yard in Nairobi, Army cooperation in Madagascar, and then in 1944 a posting to the Air Accident Prevention Section at the Admiralty. |
