Summary
It can be said that the subject of Rating Pilots and the Fleet Air Arm may only be of interest to avid aviation and naval historians. In this short but concise treatise, Alan Clifford provides an in-depth and detailed history, from the inter-service social and governmental politics to the practical reasons for the Rating Pilot schemes coming into being.
The appendices are included and these contain lists of all Rating Pilots, certificate numbers and dates of qualification, an obituary list, and other information of a historic nature which some may find of use or interest.
Inspired by actual Rating Pilots with whom he served, Clifford provides insight into this important but short-lived phenomenon of the Fleet Air Arm.
