First Printing of this edition. First Printing of this edition. octavo, pictorial heavy paper wrappers. x, (246)pp. Seaforth Publishing, Richard Bell Davies was one of the most important characters in the history of naval aviation. Despite a traditional naval education - he was among the last cadets to be trained under sail - he was quick to grasp the potential of aircraft, and backed his vision by privately learning to fly. This allowed him to join the Naval Air Wing in 1913 and he enjoyed a very active, but hair-raising career during the Great War, including winning the VC for a daring rescue of a fellow pilot while under heavy fire. Because of his unique breadth of experience he was transferred to experimental work, where he played a major part in crucial developments like arrestor gear, deck barriers and the â island' superstructure that define the modern aircraft carrier. As the first man to regularly land and take off from such ships, he did much to prove the value of shipboard aviation. After the war, in an Admiralty post, he continued to promote the flying interests of the Navy, and the book provides a firsthand chronicle of the struggles with the Air Ministry over policy and control. Although he retired in 1941, he accepted a lower rank to command one of the newly invented escort carriers, so his service ended as it had begun, at the cutting edge of naval aviation. This wonderfully active, and hugely significant career is related with a charm, modesty and humor which make the book enthralling and memorable. Vice Admiral Richard Bell Davies, VC, CB, DSO, AFC was one of the greatest pioneers of naval flying, being closely involved in the development of many of the devices and techniques that made it possible to operate aircraft from ships. He also played an active part in the Great War, for which he received a VC. New. octavo, pictorial heavy paper wrappers.

Octavo, boards (hardcover), gilt letters, x + 245 pp. Very Good+, with bookplate and light foxing (age darkened spotting) to page edges; in a Very Good+, mylar protected dust jacket with light foxing. From dust jacket: Outstanding as a seaman, even aong those who received their Dartmouth schooling at the tail end of the period when cadets were trained in sail, the author's successive appointments on the Mediterranean and China stations seemed to indicate exclusively a seafaring future. His lively accounts of some legendary characters with whom he served offer splendid reading; these include the notorious 'Spuddy' Carver, a well-known bully, Commander of the Switsure. It was in 1910 when Grahame-White flew an aircraft over the fleet that the author's career involuntarily made a violent change of course. Privately he learned to fly and at last joined the Naval Air Wing of the Royal Flyin gCorps in 1913. He gives a unique picture of the hazards and vicissitudes of flying, the happy-go-lucky spirit which attended forced landings -- preferably in a field near a likely-looking house for a good lunch -- and the primitive instruments for air navigation, bomb sights and indeed aircraft control, involving liberal use of Sandow elastic. He began his important work for the early carriers after a hectic period of operational flying, during which he won the D.S.O. in 1915 for one of the first air attacks on Zeebrugge. His Victoria Cross, later the same year, marked one of the most amazing feats in the annals of that award, when at Gallipoli in single-seater fighter he landed under enemy fire, picked up a wounded comrade and flew him to safety. As his narrative reveals he was involved in carrier design (highly experimental), the first arrester gear and barriers for flight decks and the launching of aircraft at sea. From his position in the Naval Air Section at the Admiralty between the wars -- and this is one of the most important parts of the book -- he had an unrivalled knowledge of the policy questions arising between Admiralty and Air Ministry, the workings of the Balfour Committee and the constant arguments that went on between the two Services. 'nineteen years of friction,' as he describes it. During this time there were seagoing appointments, in command of H.M.S. Royal Sovereign, H.M.S. Conrwall and H.M.S. Cumberland, but the Fleet Air Arm was always his primary concern, and although he retired in 1941 he was soon back again, accepting a lower rank in order to command a seagoing ship, the trials carrier Pretoria Castle. This wonderfully active life is related here with a charm, modesty and humour which help to make the book (that was completed shortly before his death in February 1966) a memorable one.
