SKUA! THE ROYAL NAVY'S DIVE-BOMBER
Written by Peter C. Smith.
Stock no. 1828446
Published by Pen & Sword Aviation. 1st 2006. Nearly fine condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper.

The Blackbrn Skua was the first monoplane to be designed and built for the Royal Navy in the late 1930s. As a result of continuous debate, it became a compromise between the Navy's desire for a carrier-based dive-bomber and the Air Ministry's preference for a hybrid able to perform in a limited fighter role, which proved incompatible in practice. As a dive-bomber, the Royal Navy put the design to good use from the outset of WWII. This book relates how the final design was created, how the dive-bombing technique was developed and perfected by naval pilots and traces the wartime operational career of the type with many first-hand accounts. Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos. ISBN: 1844154556. Rear panel of dustwrapper lightly scuffed, light cup ring mark to front panel.
