Review: history not novel
Rating: 4 out of 5

This book is based on the idea that the Royal Navy took back plane development and made a large commitment to naval aviation in the 1930s, and then proceeds to describe what happens afterwards.  The prologue is a little misleading, as it suggests we will be following characters through this alternate history, and have some sort of plot development.  Instead, we get a description of events that reads more like a history book (although with enough detail that it doesn't feel too dry).  I like history, so I enjoyed this book.  If you prefer character development and a plot for your alternate history reading, you will want to look elsewhere.
