... World War 1939-1945 - Naval operations - Australia...Airplanes - Military - Australia World War 1939-1945 ...In 'Seagulls, Cruisers and Catapults' Ray Jones has written an authoritative account of the technical, operational and political aspects of Australian naval aviation from Admiral Creswell's 1913 plan for naval aviation until the last aircraft catapult was removed from an Australian cruiser in 1944.The Navy's role as catalyst in the formation of the Air Force is outlined for the first time and details of the sometimes acrimonius struggle between Navy and Air Force over naval aviation are provided. No serious work of RAN history can deal with the mid-war years without taking account of advice from London and the Admiralty's influence on RAN aviation planning is made clear. Operation of aircraft, such as the Seagull III and Seagull V amphibians, from Australian warships are described and the rationale of cruiser aircraft operations are illustrated by the number shot down or damaged performing their essential task in wartime. The vital role of aircraft operating from cruisers searching for raiders and taking part in fleet operations defending Australia in 1942 is stressed. Extensive archival research in Melbourne, Canberra and London, combined with hours of interviews with the men who flew aircraft from cruisers and carrier, has ensured a balanced and well-rounded narrative which is an essential addition to the library of any naval or aviation history enthusiast.Index, notes, Appendices, ill, p.134.In 'Seagulls, Cruisers and Catapults' Ray Jones has written an authoritative account of the technical, operational and political aspects of Australian naval aviation from Admiral Creswell's 1913 plan for naval aviation until the last aircraft catapult was removed from an Australian cruiser in 1944.The Navy's role as catalyst in the formation of the Air Force is outlined for the first time and details of the sometimes acrimonius struggle between Navy and Air Force over naval aviation are provided.

... World War 1939-1945... War Two in the United States, Middle East, and India World War ...This is not a history of the war years. It is an attempt to record my personal experience of events in three widely separated places in which I served in positions of some authority during the Second World War -- in the United States, the Middle East and India. It has been put together mostly from my personal diaries written day to day as things happened. There is very little in this book for which I do not have personal and detailed record of facts and opinions, put down at the time. I may say that my 1939-46 diaries contain over 700,000 words, so writing this book has been a matter of considerable selection and compression.I have written this story mainly in narrative form, but have introduced a number of selected diary entries from time to time which I think may help to reflect local colour and thinking at the time.I hope that this account of one man’s personal experience may fill in a few gaps in the record.256 p. : ill. ; 23 cm.non-fictionThis is not a history of the war years.
