The immediate post-VJ-Day period of RAF history is often consigned
to be little more than a footnote in most published accounts. In
this first detailed look at the RAF in the Middle and Far East
regions in the three years following the end of the war, the RAF's
role in stemming the flow of immigrants into Palestine and flying
whilst under terrorist attack in Palestine is examined. Further
chapters highlight the RAF's roles in Iraq, Cyprus and flying
strike missions over Aden, and then look at the RAF's operations
over India including some of the first humanitarian airdrops for
which the RAF became famous. Attention is then turned to the RAF's
return to the Malayan peninsular and how the RAF became embroiled
in the beginnings of the Malayan Emergency. Finally, Rapid Rundown:
RAF Operations East of Suez 1945-1948 looks at the RAF's
involvement beyond the boundaries of the Empire with Spitfires
flying over Siam, French Indo-China and Japan, and how it flew
combat operations in the Dutch East Indies. The book is copiously
illustrated with many unpublished images and is enlivened by many
RAF veterans' first-hand and eyewitness accounts.
