Wanted so much to like this book, the POD was unusual in the fact it was a policy change by the British Government and the Royal Navy in the Mid 1930's rather than the usual scenario based POD.However, apartfrom a 'few' dialog sentances in the first chapter, the rest of the book is written in a factual based style, an example of this is below.****Discussions with the treasury took time, but the Admiralty was quite adamant about their needs (neglecting to mention that they also wanted to get the carriers underway before they needed more money for new battleships). In the end they didn't get all they wanted. One carrier was approved for the 1934 program, and new fighter, dive bomber and TBD models were authorised for development. To reduce costs, engines and all other equipment (where possible) was to be either existing or commonly developed by the RAF. The Admiralty had hoped for two carriers, to at least match the Americans, but one was better than nothing****Now if you like this style of writing you will likely give it a 5 star rating and there is nothing wrong with that, if you like character driven stories then you maybe will not even finish the book.Choice is yours!!!
