An account of the Royal Flying Corps in France during the First World War, which focuses on the low flying offensive of 25 March 1918 - a rapid onslaught designed to halt the German advance. Features first-hand accounts of the attacks by British pilots. This invaluable book covers the critical period for the RFC when it became, on 1st April 1918, an independent fighting arm of the services as the RAF. The RFC was seen as an adjunct of the Army, where it performed a vital observer and artillery spotting role. With the great improvement in flying and engine technology by mid-1917, the RFC could take on the enemy in air combat on more than equal terms and then develop effective bombing capabilities.
