By primarily analyzing the evolution of British naval aviation during the interwar period, as well as the challenges that the peacetime Royal Navy was forced to confront, a picture emerges of a battle fleet that entered the war in September 1939 unready for combat."--Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a Great Britain. $b History $b History $y 20th century. 610 10 $a Great Britain. $b Fleet Air Arm $b Fleet Air Arm $x History. 610 10 $a Great Britain. $b Royal Navy $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Naval operations, British. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Campaigns $z Indian Ocean. 650 0 $a Sea-power $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Naval operations, Japanese. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Britts, Angus, author. $t Neglected skies $d Annapolis, Maryland : Naval Institute Press, [2017] $z 9781682471586 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180403020420.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=27DAE746D98A11E78F813B5397128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
