The fourth force : the untold story of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary since 1945 /Geoff Puddefoot.

"This book charts the veritable revolution that has overtaken the Royal Fleet Auxiliary since the end of the Second World War. Woven together from a combination of technical ship data, official correspondence and personal recollections, it is predominantly about the men and women of the RFA and their stories, giving an insight into the underreported history of a service whose initials unofficially translate as Ready For Anything."--Provided by the publisher.
