Question about The British Aircraft Carrier

[Username666]

I'm wondering If I should buy this book or not because I bought British Carrier Aviation: The Evolution of the Ships and their Aircraft in the past. Does anyone know more about that book?

The title would suggest it’s just up to the end of WW2, so it would only be partially BCA.

There are more pages on this side, so I was wondering, but it wasn't.

I looked it up and found that after World War II, parts were sold separately.

I guess it’s wait until it’s on Amazon, and see if they post the contents page…

As you must have seen for yourself, Norman Friedman's British Carrier Aviation: The Evolution of the Ships and their Aircraft is an excellent, authoritative work, written in the 1980's. I notice that you also queried David Hobbs's good book British Aircraft Carriers here back in July 2023. You must be interested in this subject, like I am, and others. Nobody has seen Dr Friedman's forthcoming book The British Aircraft Carrier: In Two World Wars (which I understand will be the first volume of two) yet, so I can't recommend it or describe it to you. But I can truly say that such is my esteem for Dr Friedman's work, this book will be an automatic purchase for me as soon as it's published later this year. I have no doubts.

I hope that the book can also be supportive of Kindle. It's hard to read existing books often.

Norman Friedman's last few books had quite a few large, extremely detailed diagrams, including gatefold General Arrangement plans and Admiralty draughts, so I'd imagine they wouldn't transfer to Kindle very well, unless Seaforth was willing to accept an unusually large file size.
