On the 1st of April 1983 The Royal Air Force will have completed its first 65 years: For some a life time of service.
The Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund has thus marked the occasion with this handsome book, lavishly illustrated with over 125 colour plates: selected under the criteria of being the most interesting, nostalgic, important and dramatic of the endeavours — and achievements — of this Service; recorded by war artist and cameraman.
There is a short resumé by Air Commodore H. A. Probert head of The Air Historical Branch (RAF); which traces the development of the RAF to the present day: The pictures are supported by very substantial captions by E. A. Munday; containing often information not widely known.
