A long time ago I had a book that I beleive was called "An Ilustrated History of the Aircraft Carrier" Don't remember the publisher but it was a nice book full of pics and had a great chapter on the Ark Royal w/ nice photos. Anyone recall such a book? - Calvin

The book History of the Worlds Warships by Christopher Chanthas several photos of the deck of Ark Royal including some of the deck "furniture". There is also a shot of Swordfish overflying the "Ark"
Sorry there seems to be no ISBNnumber.

National Geographic did a "Search for Battleship Bismarck" special with good footage aboard the Ark Royal as well as the Discovery Channel's special on the Bismarck. Tapes and maybe DVD's can be had at their corresponding websites.

Try the movie "Sink the Bismark" I believe you'll find some have decent scenes in there of the Swordfish on deck.

I am looking for pictures of the flight deck of the HMS Ark Royal. I am building a display for my Swordfish and would like to build the flight deck. If anyone can help I would be appreciative.
