Front-line and experimental flying with the Fleet Air Arm : "purely by chance" /G.R. (Geoff) Higgs.

Memoir by Geoff Higgs, who served in the Royal Navy for more than 30 years as a pilot, first in carrier squadrons and later of experimental aircraft. Higgs describes his initial experiences of training and service during the latter part of the Second World War, then post-war in the Fleet Air Arm, including a stint as a flight instructor, before training as a test pilot. The book particularly emphasises this latter part of Higgs's career, during which he flew nearly one hundred types of aircraft. Includes 24 pages of black and white plates.
