Brit carrier deck

That could be it. I passed them on to the son years ago. I suppose he still has them.

I tried killfiling this joker but he used so many variations that it was like trying to stop a Borg. That's partly why he raised ire in so many people. You're quite correct with b) with that one. It got so that I was tired of hearing from the 'regulars' because they just couldn't leave this snake alone. It's sad because it was a good place to see some of those famous "French Postcards" that we used to hear of.

There are several chapters on S. E. Morison's epic work on the operations of the British Pacific Fleet, specifically the carrier group. Edwyn Gray wrote a book titled Operation Pacific, that if memory serves is about the same subject. Mind you I have not read it and it is unfortunately in a box in storage right now. If you are really into it you could also try the relevant volume of Roskill's War at Sea, the HMSO Official history of British Naval operation in WWII.

If you want to get into things other than Naval Combat in the PTO (as opposed to CBI) there is not all that much British stuff, but plenty of Austrailian and New Zealander material available. If it is of interest I could put together a list in a day or two.

Hope this helps,

Sort of like trying to find a kill file that will block all this unreadable "chop-suey" originating in China! They must be idiots not to realize we can't read their garbage.

Morison is really an excellent read, but the one thing that you have to keep in mind is that he started writing it in 1944, and did not fininsh wntil some time in the 1960s. consequently there are some major omissions in the work.. for example there is no mention of the Polish/British breaking of the German Enigma codes. this was not declassified until Winterbotham wrote his book in 1978.

The Gray book was published by Leo Cooper in the UK and the US Naval Institute in the US, both in 1990. It is currently out of print, but

has a number of copies available ($15.00-$50.00.)
