She was in the glory of Taranto where the Italian fleet was crippled by the Fleet Air Arm and later she was in the hell of dive-bombing attacks that sent her limping into Malta more dead than alive. H.M.S. Illustrious was the might, majesty, dominion and power of the great carrier task-forces that paved the way for victory at sea.
