JUBELIN, Andre. The Flying Sailor. 276p., illus., index. London: Hurst & Blackett, 1953.

The author left his ship in the Far East to join the Free French forces. He reached England in 1941 and took command of the depot ship Courbet. When she was laid up, he took command of the First French Naval Air Squadron which fitted out with Spitfires and was operational in the South of England. He moved briefly to night-fighters before taking command of the sloop Savorgnan de Brazza in late 1942. The book ends with the sloop's first voyage to Gibraltar, but a publisher's note describes the rest of his career.
