   Front Jacket Excerpt from Volume One:   
   "There have been many histories of the Royal Air Force, but never one like   
   this. The evolution and achievements of Britain's air forces are put into   
   new perspective against a background of the changing world of our twentieth   
   century. Not only do we learn why-as well as how-the RAF and its   
   predeccessors gained victory in the air battles of two World Wars and   
   countless smaller wars; we see how they blazed a trail across oceans and   
   deserts, for the airlines to follow, played a major part in creating   
   America's great modern aviation industry, kept the peace for two   
   desperately dangerous decades after World War II and, simultaneously,   
   learned how to use new kinds of aircraft to bring new life to hundreds of   
   men, women and children who would other wise have died through sickness,   
   shipwreck or starvation.   
   Published to mark the 50th Anniversary of the formation of the Royal Air   
   Force, on 1st April 1918, this superbly-illustrated three-volume work, of   
   which this is the first, forms a unique, scrupulously accurate and highly   
   readable tribute to the Service without which none of us might have been   
   alive to read it."
