Descriptions of the early days of British air power This unique Leonaur book contains two accounts of aerial warfare during the First World War. The first describes the Royal Flying Corps from the perspective of one its senior officers. The topics covered include how the first pilots were drawn into the service and how they were trained to become flyers. On the battlefront, long reconnaissance operations, routine patrolling, artillery observation work, bombing and photography missions and air combat are all covered. The function of headquarters, the RFC's activities beyond the Western Front and in the sideshow theatres of the war, the development and future of the air force are also considered. The second piece in this book contains anecdotes by several airmen on topics which include fighting the German Zeppelin menace and the triumph of allied air-power in 1918 in the battle for Amiens. Includes for the first time illustrations and photographs not previously published with either text. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

"Of all the tales and sketches which go to make up the present work, some have been actual experiences of the writer, more of other members of the Royal Flying Corps, whilst one or two are purely imaginative, but none the less possible. In cases where the writer may seem to be inaccurate or out of date, he begs to remind his readers that sketches were written in the autumn of 1916 in most instances, and portray events that happened to him and his contemporaries in the R.F.C., mostly in 1915 and the beginnng of 1916. After that date the writer ceased to fly himself, owing to a period of eight months in the hospital, and became a "Wing Adjutant." The details of the R.F.C. in the East were obtained whilst he was actually there during the greater part of 1917."--Preface.

Many books have been written about pilots of the Royal Flying Corps but the men on the ground, who kept the planes in the air and the guns firing, have been sadly neglected - and yet their role was a vital one. This truly remarkable book, the production of which must have seemed an impossible task, has more than remedied the situation. The authors have managed to locate all the non-commissioned airmen who enlisted in the RFC prior to the outbreak of war in August 1914, and for each one they have provided a mini-biography. The length of each entry varies, available records being what they are, but detail is provided for over 1,400 men. For those who became pilots, details of their certificates are given. Statistics include the establishment of the Corps at various times and there is a list of non-commissioned ranks as well as notes on uniforms, badges etc. There is a full record of works consulted at the Public Record Office and an excellent bibliography.

The Royal Flying Corps, later the Royal Air Force, was formed in 1912 and went to war in 1914 where it played a vital role in reconnaissance, supporting the British Expeditionary Force as 'air cavalry' and also in combat, establishing air superiority over the Imperial German Air Force. Edward Bujak here combines the history of the air war, including details of strategy, tactics, technical issues and combat, with a social and cultural history. The RFC was originally dominated by the landed elite, in Lloyd George's phrase 'from the stateliest houses in England', and its pilots were regarded as 'knights of the air'. Harlaxton Manor in Lincolnshire, seat of landed gentry, became their major training base. Bujak shows how, within the circle of the RFC, the class divide and unconscious superiority of Edwardian Britain disappeared - absorbed by common purpose, technical expertise and by an influx of pilots from Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. He thus provides an original and unusual take on the air war in World War I, combining military, social and cultural history.

By the middle of 1918 the British Army had successfully mastered the concept of ’all arms’ warfare on the Western Front. This doctrine, integrating infantry, artillery, armoured vehicles and - crucially - air power, was to prove highly effective and formed the basis of major military operations for the next hundred years. Yet, whilst much has been written on the utilisation of ground forces, the air element still tends to be studied in isolation from the army as a whole. In order to move beyond the usual 'aircraft and aces' approach, this book explores the conceptual origins of the control of the air and the role of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) within the British army. In so doing it addresses four key themes. First, it explores and defines the most fundamental air power concept - the control of the air - by examining its conceptual origins before and during the First World War. Second, it moves beyond the popular history of air power during the First World War to reveal the complexity of the topic. Third, it reintegrates the study of air power during the First World War, specifically that of the RFC, into the strategic, operational, organisational, and intellectual contexts of the era, as well as embedding the study within the respective scholarly literatures of these contexts. Fourth, the book reinvigorates an entrenched historiography by challenging the usually critical interpretation of the RFC’s approach to the control of the air, providing new perspectives on air power during the First World War. This includes an exploration of the creation of the RAF and its impact on the development of air power concepts.
