Description
Charles Lamb's War in a Stringbag is a gripping account of his experiences as a pilot in the Fleet Air Arm during World War II. The story follows Lamb's journey from his early days as a Lieutenant on board Courageous to the tragic accident aboard Implacable in June 1945, which ended his war. With the slow and obsolete Fairey Swordfish, Lamb proved that even the most antiquated machines could be deadly in the right hands. This rare and inspiring memoir offers a unique insight into Lamb's determination, action, and spirit, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in military history.
