FOREWORD
It is with pleasure and a residual chuckle that I commend "Punch With Wings". Throughout the years, aviation has attracted unto itself a humour, phraseology and wit all of its own. In this book these characteristics are portrayed with that splendid mixture of fidelity, imagination and foresight for which PUNCH is renowned and which never fails to amuse. But this book will be useful as it is amusing because, through the generosity of the proprietors of Punch, all royalties from its sale go to the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund; a cause which is as worthy as it is appropriate. We are especially indebted to Mr. David Langdon, the Honorary Editor, and the managerial staff of PUNCH who have gone to great pains in the launching of this book on an unsuspecting, though inevitably, smiling public.
The Marshal of Royal Air Force, SIR DERMOT BOYLE, G.C.B., K.C.V.O., K.B.E., A.F.C.
