The Fleet Air Arm (FAA) of Britainss Royal Navy was a force suffering more than its share of problems between the two World Wars. Only from 1942 onwards did the Admiralty "Battleship Brigade"concede the supremacy of aircraft over warships. Prior to that, the aircraft was basically regarded as an observation platform for naval gunnery, or for reconnaissance to seek out an adversarys Fleet. The protectionof WWII convoys helped to ensure that the Atlantic Lifeline remained intact. Aircraft designed for carrier operations - including Grumman and Chance-Vought designs from the U.S. - entered FAA service as theconflict in Europe progressed.
