The Fleet Air Arm played an active part in the fight against the Axis forces during the Battle of Britain, not more so than the two FAA squadrons and 50 or so men who served under RAF Fighter Command. This page is dedicated to their dedication and bravery.

for Britain was no doubt well reasoned by eminent academics.
They presumable drew on the success of the RN ships in the face of enemy air attacks both before the BoB and subsequently in the Far East.
