Descriptions of the early days of British air powerThis unique Leonaur book contains two accounts of aerial warfare during the First World War. The first describes the Royal Flying Corps from the perspective of one its senior officers. The topics covered include how the first pilots were drawn into the service and how they were trained to become flyers. On the battlefront, long reconnaissance operations, routine patrolling, artillery observation work, bombing and photography missions and air combat are all covered. The function of headquarters, the RFC's activities beyond the Western Front and in the sideshow theatres of the war, the development and future of the air force are also considered. The second piece in this book contains anecdotes by several airmen on topics which include fighting the German Zeppelin menace and the triumph of allied air-power in 1918 in the battle for Amiens. Includes for the first time illustrations and photographs not previously published with either text.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
