Carrier Glorious - The Life and Death of an Aircraft Carrier by John Winton.

One of the most extraordinary stories of human folly in World War Two. June 1940: the German battle-cruiser Scharnhorst and her sister ship Gneisenau were in the Arctic Sea, steaming north to intercept Allied convoys evacuating British, French and Polish troops from Norway, when they sighted the aircraft carrier HMS Glorious, escorted by two destroyers, steering for Scapa Flow. In a ferocious gun battle lasting over an hour, all the British ships were sunk, and more than 1500 men lost their lives. The few survivors were not found for three days. Glorious had left the main convoy to proceed independently. She was not flying an air reconnaissance patrol for her own safety. And she had not received any warning from British intelligence that German battle-cruisers were in the area. Drawing on Admiralty records and the testimony of those who served on Glorious, John Winton reveals the incredible human folly that led almost inexorably to this tragic end, against a background of one of the most disastrous campaigns of the Second World War for Britain and her allies.

HMS Glorious, HMS Glorious started life as a light battle-cruiser. Laid down on the 1st May 1915 at the Harland and Wolff shipyards. and launched on the 20th April 1916. and completed on the 14th October 1916. This Battle Cruiser only saw one action during world war one at Heligoland bight on the 17th November 1917. It was then that a weakness to the ships decking was found when HMS Glorious had fired its main armament of four 15-inch guns (mounted in pairs ) one pair forward and pair aft. the firing actually caused the structural damage. Probably due to this weakness HMS Glorious and her sister ship HMS Courageous were placed in the Royal naval reserve fleet in February 1919, at Devonport, Plymouth
HMS Glorious and her sister ship HMS Courageous were converted into aircraft carriers. HMS Glorious was converted in 1930. (an interesting fact, was that there main armament of 15inch guns were stored and finally re used for the last battleship of the Royal navy, HMS Vanguard, HMS Glorious four 15-inch guns were mounted aft, and Courageous guns mounted forward. on HMS Vanguard.

ARTIST
Featured Artist - Ivan Berryman



Art and aviation have been like a brother and sister to me. We have grown up together, learned together and made our adult lives together. But you do not have to have an appreciation of aircraft to admire the graceful lines of a Spitfire or the functional simplicity of a Focke-Wulf 190. They are themselves a work of art and they cry out to be painted - not as machines of war and destruction, but as objects of beauty, born of necessity and function, yet given a life and iconic classicism beyond their original calling. My interest and love of art and aircraft was gifted to me by my father, a designer and aeronautical engineer of considerable repute. Denis Berryman C.Eng. FRAeS. He gave me his eyes, his passion, his dedication and his unwavering professionalism. I owe him everything. And I miss him terribly. A love of art and of beautiful and interesting things takes you on a journey. You discover new interests, new fascinations, and you want to paint them. You want to paint them in their environment, in their element. Whether it is an aeroplane, a warship, a racing car or a beautiful woman, their gift to an artist is the same: Their lines, their texture and the way that light and shadows give them form. These are the food and oxygen of an artist. Not the paint and the canvas. These are mere tools. The secret is in the passion and the perception.
