Country:  | Fleet Air Arm
I want a list of every aircraft that served with the Fleet Air Arm from 1939-1945. No prototypes, no test aircraft and I don't need to know all the different sub-variants.
Just the aircraft that served properly with the FAA. I know it's a tall order but not as tall as the next I'm going to ask for.

Country: | You're kidding me, all those were used properly and extensively by the Fleet Air Arm? I won't be asking for another list for a while, this is goin' to be some work.
And thank you.

| Looks like a good list to me. No obvious ones jump out unless you want to include catapult planes such as the Fox, Seaplane Swordfish and Walrus |
