Confirmed, both with “FAAA39-45” and the official Fleet Air Arm Roll of Honour.

PS: I do have a very rare mint condition second-hand copy of “FAAA39-45” for sale, signed by one of the authors (proceeds not to me!) if anyone feels flush with some serious amounts of cash (Google the book to see how much rare copies go for these days)….;) Serious offers only, tho.
