From the battle of France to the Gulf War and Bosnia, the RAF has been in the forefront of the action.

There are recollections of life in the RAF including training, World War II fighter and bomber missions, prisoners of war, post war mercy flights and active service in various conflicts. It is illustrated with photographs of aircraft and personnel, interspread with classic aviation cartoons - 60 years of RAF history and heroism are encapsulted in this book of eyewitness accounts.
