Flt Lt David Morgan, Lt Cdr RN?
Suspicion breeds confidence
The book arrived yesterday and I finished it this evening. A good well written book. A minoir point for correction in the next edition is that Hermes never flew Phantoms.

Just finished Sharkeys book. Aside from his obvious (and somewhat over the top) dislike of the RAF, plus his somewhat moralistic references to other pilots (the attack on the Narwal comes to mind), it wasn't that bad.

Sharkey
I knew naval test pilots pre, during then post Falklands, when it became politically correct in the FAA to dismiss Sharkey's comments - All I can say is, in the unlikely event I ever went into combat, he'd be one of the first choices I'd like to be with!
Think of him that way, not how your promotion might go if allied with someone who tells it like it is.
I look forward to reading D.M.'s book, and am sure it will be good.

I enjoyed both books very much. David Morgan's just reflects how he dealt with the situation as presented to them at the time. Sharkey's is written with a lot of hindsight, but he makes a lot of very valid points.
