Ray Sturtivant is the author of many books dealing with aviation in general and the Fleet Air Arm in particular.

Over nearly half a century he has written countless articles on various aviation topics, his long-running series 'Problem Pictures' in Aviation News magazine having given him a deserved reputation for being able to find the answers to the most obscure questions and expressing them in logical and readable form. Certainly, his persistence in this field has resulted in much historical information being pieced together which would otherwise have been lost to posterity.

In addition to this and to contributing to books by other authors, Ray has written a number of books of his own. His preference is to deal in great depth with subjects that require considerable research, and which, therefore, are seldom investigated by others. He has a particular interest in the Fleet Air Arm, on whose aircraft and squadrons he is accepted as the leading authority.

In recent years his efforts have been almost entirely devoted to producing and editing military aviation books for the aviation society Air-Britain of which he has been an active member since its inception in 1948, and a committee member and director for a number of years. He is also co-editor of its 'Aeromilitaria' magazine.

A full list of his major books can be found on his website.

The Fleet Air Arm Officers' Association is pleased to provide this information about Ray Sturtivant. The Association is indebted to him for the use he offers of historical material from his books.
