This book is really an alternate history book as opposed to an alternate history novel. It is written just like a military history book, except it's not real history. There are no main characters in the story because there is no story. It is an alternate history of the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm.I have no idea where the name, "The Whale Has Wings," came from. The author attributes it to Churchill. Maybe it's an alternate history quote.There are 2 volumes and I only have the first. It is well written and you will learn something about the Fleet Air Arm. But if you are looking for an alternate history tale or story, this isn't one.
