520    The Blackburn Skua was the first monoplane to be designed 
       and built for the Royal Navy in the 1930s. As a result of 
       continued debate, it became a compromise between the Navy&
       rsquo;s desire for a carrier-based dive-bomber and RAF&
       rsquo;s preference for a fighter. Despite being the first 
       to shoot down a Luftwaffe aircraft in World War II, early 
       operations in Norway found the type woefully inadequate as
       a fighter.As a dive-bomber, the Royal Navy put the design 
       to good use from the outset of WWII. It was involved with 
       the hunt for the Graff Spee, sunk the major warship Koln, 
       suffered with great loss in an attack on the Scharnhorst, 
       helped to keep the German advance at bay during the 
       Dunkirk evacuation and attacked the French rogue 
       battleship Richelieu in the Mediterranean.This book 
       relates how the final design was created, how the dive-
       bombing technique was developed and perfected by naval 
       pilots and traces the wartime operational career of the 
       type with many first-hand accounts. [Elib]
