Edition: Printed for Private Circulation
Published By: Salurbious Sulur
This is a rare, privately printed commemorative history of the 742 Naval Air Squadron, which operated as part of the Royal Naval Air Transport Service during the final years of World War II and the immediate post-war transition. Primarily based in Southern India, including RNAS Sullur and Coimbatore, the squadron played a crucial role in providing air transport and communications across the Far East. The volume offers a detailed account of the squadron's activities, documenting their extensive flights across the subcontinent and highlighting their use of aircraft such as the Beech Expeditor, Fairey Swordfish, and Supermarine Sea Otter. As a privately issued work, it was likely produced in limited numbers for the officers and personnel of the unit, making it a rare primary source for researchers studying British naval aviation history in India. Bound in the original blue cloth binding, with gilt decoration. 47 pp. part of a large aviation library.
