Maverick at work
I could suggest that just as a book and one that gives an insight into some of the events it is well worth a read.
Ok there may be some "non PC comments" re events,people and the high command, but it is still a good read and he is not seeking to win a popularity contest (no argument there).
It is no different to any other book, you either find it interesting for some of the information that gets left out in "official accounts" and also make your own mind up re any "personal comments".
On balance the reader can decide on the above and his "direction" in later years is his affair,he will not get any prizes for going quietly !!
PS i really liked the bit about landing at the BBC Pebble Mill Sudio's;Ok a bit of a stunt,but prooved how versatile the Navy was in those days,what are they allowed to do now.I seem to recall he also gives great credit to the RAF for giving the Navy a good start on operating the Harrier.
