Description
Vigorous, light-hearted and extraordinarily vivid, this account by Lord Kilbracken of his five years in the Fleet Air Arm during the Second World War provides a remarkable picture of personal dealings with Swordfish aircraft, affectionately known as Stringbags, which, he asserts, 'seemed to have been left in the war by mistake.' At the same time he reveals what a significant often dramatic, role they played in the world course of hostilities.
