Not an ex-library, book club or remainder copy. A vivid picture of life aboard a great carrier in wartime, as seen through the eyes of some of her crew. The Illustrious was true to her name. She was in the glory of Taranto where the Italian fleet was crippled by the Fleet Air Arm and later she was in the hell of dive-bombing attacks that sent her limping into Malta more dead than alive. H.M.S. Illustrious was the might, majesty, dominion and power of the great carrier task-forces that paved the way for victory at sea.

I thought I was getting a history--well, it's more of an oral history. It will make no sense if you don't already know the ship's history. The last fifty pages help; there are some vivid recountings of the Pacific campaign. If a relative served in the ship it's a nice memento, but don't go there looking for serious history.
