Barracuda Pilot

{detailed description}Dunstan Hadley served as a pilot in the Fleet Air Arm during World War II. Barracuda Pilot is his account of those times and is written in a light-hearted and often humorous style.
He writes about his experiences as a trainee pilot, an operational pilot and as a flight deck officer. The author was in action again the Japanese in Sumatra and the raid on Sigh is vividly recounted.
As a Barracuda pilot, Dunstan Hadley formed a strong attachment for the Fairey Barracuda. It was an aircraft that was often disliked and considered dangerous but the author argues that it was only dangerous if incorrectly handled and he feels that it was not used properly by the High Command.
Barracuda Pilot is the very personal account of a young man's war which will be enjoyed not only by those who lived through those days but also by anyone interested in World War II history.
