1. Intended to be the forerunner of the escort carrier, the merchant aircraft carriers or MAC-ships, did not enter service until 1943, by which time the escorts were also arriving. Here is Adula with a Fairey Swordfish taking off.
(via Lord Kilbracken)
2. Here is a Swordfish about to land on Adula, with little room for any mistakes.
(via Lord Kilbracken)
3. One of the early escort carriers was HMS Avenger, which saw service on the first Arctic convoy to have air cover, PQ18. She is seen here with six Hawker Sea Hurricanes on her flight deck.
