Customer Reviews
This is a well-written history not only of the Royal Air Force in World War One, but of the development of aviation, mostly in England and France, up until the start of the war. For the aviation enthusiast this view of the early history of powered flight is compelling and informative. It goes beyond the usual "wind in the wires" stuff to logistical nuts and bolts -- how the English developed the research and development capability that helped them win both wars.A good and useful read.
