24 May 1939 the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm consisted of 20 squadrons with 232 aircraft. By the end of the war the worldwide strength of the Fleet Air Arm was 59 aircraft carriers, 3,700 aircraft, 72,000 officers and men, and 56 Naval air stations.

During WW2, the FAA operated fighters, torpedo bombers and reconnaissance aircraft. In the summer of 1940, the RAF called upon the Admiralty for Fleet Air Arm assistance as the Battle of Britain raged. In those bleak days of 1940 the Fleet Air Arm crews who served under Fighter Command, integrated themselves with panache within what was new to them, the advanced structure and fighter control system deployed by RAF Fighter Command.

The top scoring Fleet Air Arm fighter ace in WW2 with 17 victories is Commander Stanley Orr, whilst the top Royal Marine ace is Ronald Cuthbert Hay with 13 victories.

Previously served with 804 on HMS Glorious. On 17 November 1940, Stockwell was the Pilot of a Skua which took off from HMS Argus to lead six Hurricanes to Malta. The operation turned into a disaster. The Sunderland scheduled to escort them failed to take off from Gibraltar. The landfall was missed and they failed to find the bomber sent out to meet them. The Skua navigator radioed for further help but his set was faulty and he could not receive the reply. The Hurricanes ran out of fuel one by one and fell into the sea, with the loss of all six pilots. With almost no fuel left, Stockwell sighted Sicily. The aircraft was fired on by Italian defences and crash-landed on the beach at Punta Palo on the Isola delle Correnti, near Syracuse. Stockwell and his navigator were taken prisoner. After liberation Stockwell became a Commissioned Pilot in 1945. He later served in 771 and 779 Squadrons. He retired from the Navy on 9 December 1950 Prisoner of War. Italian Prisoner of War
