  • The Fleet Air Arm and British Naval Operations Over Norway and Sweden: Part I –- Autumn of 1940
    The Fleet Air Arm and British Naval Operations over Norway and Sweden: Part I –- Autumn of 1940 Peter Hore n this two-part article, the author sets out briefly the origins and history of the IBritish Navy’s Fleet Air Arm. It describes how in 1940 British aircraft invaded Swedish airspace and three planes from the aircraft carrier HMS Furious crash- landed in Sweden. In the second part, the author will outline British plans for a much larger and deliberate violation of Swedish neutrality in order to prevent the export of iron ore to Nazi Germany. The Fleet Air Arm As widely known, the Fleet Air Arm (FAA) is an entirely separate organisation to the Royal Air Force and it celebrated its centenary in 2009. In 1909, the Royal Navy had commissioned Airship No. 1, and the Navy, then the world’s leading sea power, quickly led the world in the development of air power, Peter Hore är pensionerad kommendör i den brittiska flottan. Han är bl.a. medlem av Royal Historical Society och blev nyligen invald i Kungliga Örlogsmannasällskapet. Han har en omfattande publicering bakom sig, främst rörande marinstrategiska frågor och brittisk marinhistoria. 190 191 including the use of heavier-than-air machines. The Navy had warmly embra- ced the concept of naval aviation, sending the first pilots for training in 1910, and developments in naval air were surprisingly quick. The first official flight was by Lieutenant Charles Samson from the forecastle of the stationary HMS Africa on 10 January 1912.1 Samson, in a Short biplane, used 100 ft of speci- ally constructed decking: within a year, runs of only 25 ft were needed if the ship HMS London was underway.

A Microcosm of Typically Insipid Royal Navy Requirements and The ResultBy JCALExcellent book covering the origin, development, production and use of the Barracuda. In the first few pages the author describes the environment the Barracuda was developed in. Frankly, I don't believe he goes far enough.If a mediocre aircraft ever deserved to be examined from a complete perspective of the factors that influenced its development and use, the Barracuda is it.Here are some examples to contrast the British and American production scale of WWII along with some factors somewhat unique to the British;1. Excess production capacity, the Brewster Buccaneer failed,the SB2C was almost a failure. The USN had the TBF/TBM and was building a factory for the Vought TBY. That's four programs where metal was cut and three programs that reached production! What excess capacity did the British have?2. The Wichita B-29 program had more engineers working at that one, single plant than England had engineers working in the entire industry.3. The aircraft of the RN were controlled by the RAF almost until the last moments before WWII, austere budgets, a customer that was reluctant to develop new technology aircraft, obsolete specifications, etc.
