Description: This book gives a fresh look at the operational history of the RAF and contains largely previously unpublished photographs and gives a graphic impression of life and action in the RAF’s campaigns from it’s formation in 1918 to the Falklands conflict.  It also offers an operational history of squadrons in all types of aircraft and operations across the world. The author covers all the major campaigns in depth including the Western Desert, The Battle of Britain, the bombing of Germany, D-Day and the Falklands. He also covers some rarely featured imperial policing duties in Iraq, the North-West Frontier and Palestine in the 1920’s and 30’s and the RAF’s post-1945 roles in Indonesia, Malaya, the Gulf and Kenya. There is also a section on the seldom mentioned Russian (1919-20) campaign against the Bolsheviks. It is also illustrated with diagrams of the more rarely aspects of bomber and ground-attack tactics. In addition, detailed orders of battle are given for the major periods and campaigns.
