Overview

War in air on several fronts in the Great War and after Students of the history of the RFC/RAF during the First World War may recognise the author of this book as the person responsible for the majority of an authoritative multi-volume history of the British air forces during that 
conflict. However, he was also a serving flying officer observer during that war, with No 47 Squadron a, 'typical Middle East Squadron', which operated on the Salonika front, the Monastir front and was also notable in that it took part in the attack on the battle cruiser Goeben off the Dardenelles. The squadron was later transferred to Russia in support of loyalist forces under Denikin against Bolshevik armies. The first account in this book offers the reader the immediacy of first-hand experience and recollection, whereas the second is an historical overview. The final piece, which originally appeared as an article within Blackwood's magazine is a retelling of one the author's most notable wartime adventures. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
