A PDF of all the material collected on that topic can be excerpted from the 4.4Gb PDF online here:
https://www.faaaa.asn.au/spazsinbad-a4g/ At the two websites from URL one may download a lot of free PDF material about all manner of Naval Aviation (NavAv) topics - not only about the RAN FAA or the A4G but 'how to deck land' using the many aids down the ages. There is something for anyone interested in NavAv in the 4.4Gb PDF.
Is WEBF interested in ONLY the RN or in NavAv overall? Is the interest in STOVL OPs only or in general fixed wing carrier landings for the last century? Does WEBF include LSOs in this history of 'landing aids'?
The recent 4.4Gb PDF has the most up to date info on 'landing aids' at that time, including the 'MAGII soup spilled on the CARPET' for the Shornets and the DFP Delta Flight Path for the F-35C. This up to date stuff would not be in older 'how to deck land' PDFs for example but still and all an huge bunch of info nevertheless. I'm downloading an 18 month old 'how DL' pdf now from OneDrive but one must follow directions at the first URL if one is not registered at Microsoft OneDrive beforehand:
