The RAF: 1918-2018 (Paperback)

For a hundred years the Royal Air Force has been at the forefront of the UK's defences, protecting its allies, attacking its enemies and, in the 1950s and 1960s providing a key part of Britain's Nuclear Deterrent. This book examines the history of the RAF from the biplanes of the First World War, through its `Finest Hour' in 1940, the dawn of the jet age and up to today's hi-tech aircraft, including the emerging role of the unmanned aerial vehicle. Enriched with personal accounts and a wealth of photographs, this book provides a concise introduction to the world's first independent air force.
