Merchant Aircraft Carriers, by one who served on them

  1. Roy Martin
    I have now had a chance to look through the file, which does not seem to have been corrupted. A few observations: The deadweight of the vessels (their cargo-carrying capacity) was reduced by about 20%, because of increased steel weight etc. Mr Malby has missed HMS Furious in hic list of Aircraft Carriers. The drawings of the ship types seem to come from Empire Ships by Mitchell and Sawyer. Lt J Godley RNVR later became Lord Kilbracken, he wrote about his experiences in Bring back My Stringbag.

    That said I think that this is a masterful piece.
