| Entry Text: | WOODS, Gerard A. Wings at Sea: A Fleet Air Arm Observer's War 1940–45. 272p., illus., index. London: Conway, 1985. ISBN: 0851773192.
The author had an active career, serving in Ark Royal in 1940–41, including the Bismarck hunt; in Victorious and Formidable in 1941–42, in Icelandic waters and with the Eastern Fleet respectively. In 1942–43 he served on liaison and training duties in the Mediterranean and took part in the Salerno landings. After a spell in India he returned to the UK as a squadron commander. An enjoyable gossipy book which reads like a letter to an old friend. |
