This is a comprehensive reference to the structure, operation,
aircraft and men of the 1st Tactical Air Force, or Desert Air Force
as it became known. It was formed in North Africa to support the
8th Army and included squadrons from the RAF, SAAF, RAAF and
eventually the USAAF. The book includes descriptions of many
notable defensive and offensive campaigns, the many types of
aircraft used, weapons and the airfields that played host to these
events. The five main sections of the book include a general
historical introduction and overview, operations, operational
groups, aircrew training and technical details of each aircraft
type. Lengthy annexes cover personnel, the squadrons in World War
II, accuracy of attacks, orders of battle for each wartime year,
maps of airfield locations and numbers of enemy aircraft downed.
