A war in the skies above the waves
As early as 1908 the Royal Navy understood the potential for the
use of aircraft in naval warfare. By 1914 the Royal Naval Air
Service consisted of 93 aircraft, 6 airships, 2 balloons and 727
personnel. By 1918 when the RNAS was combined with the RAF it had
nearly 3,000 aircraft and more than 55,000 personnel. Aircraft
working in concert with the Royal Navy and against enemy shipping
and coastal installations had come to stay. This interesting book
looks at the RNAS from a much more personal perspective-that of one
young navy pilot, Harold Rosher. The book tells the story of
Rosher's war, based around Dover and engaged in patrolling over and
across the English Channel and attacking enemy held coastal
defences such as Zeebrugge, principally through letters to his
family and provides vital insights into the First World War in the
air as experienced by an early naval pilot. Available in softcover
and hardcover with dust jacket
