Ray Sturtivant Knihy
Ray Sturtivant sa o letectvo zaujíma od detstva, keď navštevoval vojnové letiská v okolí svojho domova. Počas základnej vojenskej služby pôsobil pri RAF v Indii. Na začiatku svojej kariéry štátneho úradníka objavil talent na vyhľadávanie a zhromažďovanie faktov a čísel, ktorý rozvinul pri skúmaní lietadiel a jednotiek RAF a Fleet Air Arm. Jeho práca sa sústreďuje na detailné a faktické zmapovanie histórie letectva.
