For those with interest in naval aviation of old (or just interested in tales of 'derring-do') may I recommend 'With Naval Wings', by John Wellham.

It includes an inspiring first person account of the attack on Taranto Harbour by the Stringbags.

A great all round read, written by Mr Wellham, an amusing and extremely interesting man who I had the honour to play host to several years ago at a Taranto dining in night.

I think it was a fairly limited release, though it did do a couple of runs and I have seen it on Amazon.

ISBN 1-873376-33-2
