NEW AVIATION AND MILITARY TITLES

   

Admiralty and AEW. Royal Navy Airborne Early Warning Projects
By Chris Gibson – Paperback, 48 pages
The Admiralty, until 1964 the Office of the Lord High Admiral, has been the guardian of all things naval in Britain since the 17th century. Amongst the Admiralty’s tasks has been to ensure that the Royal Navy was provided with the best available equipment. However, over the years various events have conspired against the Admiralty’s stated aims.
One example of this is the provision of an airborne early warning capability to the fleet and this story is told in "The Admiralty and AEW". From the pre-war airborne radar experiments using an Avro Anson to the numerous studies for the CVF carriers in the early 21st century it is a fascinating story.
