Extract

In a necessarily brief introduction it is best to choose a few topics which seem to me to be of first–class importance, and to leave it to the discussion to bring up others.

I wish it had been possible to include one other aspect of Naval aircraft in these introductory papers– the aircraft carrier. Many of the technical aspects of carriers may be more appropriate as a subject for the Institute of Naval Architects, but I feel that our discussion will be incomplete unless ship designers contribute.

Note on page 798 * Admiral Slattery added later that: In all fairness, the Swordfish should be included. This aircraft, which was largely a private venture, proved flexible. It carried a great variety of weapons and equipment, was greatly overloaded and was used for many purposes for which it was never designed. It should go down in history as a “good” aeroplane.
