• Resource link and title: Fleet Air Arm and the War in Europe, 1939-1945
• Link to request on RX: Out of scope of WP:RX as this is a hard copy book and I would be consulting it widely.

I have developed a number of articles on British aircraft carrier operations in Norway during World War II to a high standard (including the FAs Operation Sportpalast, Operation Tungsten, Operation Mascot and Operation Goodwood (naval) and A-class article Operation Leader). I have also worked on a number of articles on the war at sea in the North Atlantic more broadly, with Operation Berlin (Atlantic) and Operation Teardrop being developed to FA standard. This is an important recent book on this topic by an expert author that I would use to develop articles on some of the other British aircraft carrier operations in Norway and the North Atlantic during the war. The book has been well reviewed by subject matter experts (e.g. [1] [2]), so is a high quality source. Thank you for considering this request. Nick-D (talk) 07:31, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

@Nick-D Check your email; I have sent you a copy of the book. Riad Salih (talk) 13:41, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

Is the copy you sent me legal? It's also hosted on an obscure file sharing website, and I don't click unfamiliar links. Nick-D (talk) 01:18, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

@Nick-D I found it online. It's not an obscure file-sharing website; it's WeTransfer. I uploaded it there for you. Riad Salih (talk) 11:30, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Nick-D: Thanks for your request, I'll send you an email with next steps. RAdimer-WMF (talk) 21:14, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
